haha, up came my idea of adding shortcuts/plugins to DOM.
E.g. The Hateful Eight release triggers many requests for intermission DCPs of various
length. Doing these in j2k would eat up much space (even if the DCP could probably be
compressed very efficiently for transport if you keep the background simple).
So I just thought that an intermission DCP could be done much more space efficient using
subtitles. Would also be very easy to have a basic framework with a countdown clock, and
add different languages for 'Intermission'.
And then once we are there, why couldn't DCP-o-matic do it directly with, sort of a
'plugin'? And would there be other useful plugins for standard jobs?

Yes, I know, I am they guy who always voted to keep DCP-o-matic to the bare essentials and
not pile up endless functions
That said, an intermission DCP generator could be a nice webbased application, especially
since using subtitles, the resulting files would be small for download.
Just type in your catch-phrase or upload a background image, then download the resulting
intermission DCP.
