I fully agree. In fact I found the way this was changed a bit too 
hasty, i.e. it seemed to have occured w/o too much thought being spent 
on the consequences <sigh>. But of course avoiding "double negation" is 
always good, as it reduced confusion.

No. Strictly spoken, I would want to *keep* -n as meaning 
-no-subtitles. I mean, the default is to have subtitles by default 
anyway, so having a switch for that is rather pointless. But then 
again, I don't use any of the switches besides -x and -u anyway (and 
sometimes rarely -p, -e and -g), so I am not the right person to 
comment on this, I guess =)
