 VITAC - Captioning and Subtitling
The 708 format was designed to allow use of the entire Unicode set, which includes virtually every character in every alphabet in the world, plus the complete range of symbols, thus making 708 useful for subtitling or captioning almost every program, regardless of subject matter.
The FCC adopted all the recommendations of the EIA, and all TV receivers (13 inches or larger) built from July 1993 forward were required to meet the EIA-608 standard, and captioning software was developed to comply with EIA-608.
Line 21 captions transmitted via DTV in the 708 format come out looking identical to the same captions transmitted via NTSC in the 608 format.) This data has all the same features and limitations of 608 data, including the speed at which it is delivered to the consumer’s equipment.

 NCAM/Implementing DTV Closed Captions and Video Description
EIA 708 defines how to include 608 data within the 708 transport because manufacturers, broadcasters and caption service providers did not want to have to caption programs twice.
It is also possible to "upconvert" 608 caption data to true 708 format, in effect using the original 608 data as source material and employing a limited set of EIA-708 features to present the captions to an EIA-708 decoder.
Likewise, it was not expected that DTV receivers would translate native 608 captions into native 708 captions.

 57642.000928&ELEMENT_SET=DECL
The invention is not limited to the 608 or 708 standards, the number or size of memory buffers or other data structures or windows, to multi-threaded software, or to any other software or hardware parameters.
The 708 standard allows a number of caption windows to be displayed on the screen at any given time.
Of note, when a buffer 48 stores 708 data, the top row of buffer 48 stores the top row of the window 18 corresponding to the buffer; the second row of the buffer stores the second row of the window 18; and so on.

 [theora] Closed Captioning
There are formal EIA specs on these, the line 21 CC data is under EIA-608 and the new DTVCC (closed captioning for digital tv) is under EIA-708.
The digital spec is a mess of conflicts, there is at least one clarification document that they released EIA-CEB-10 (and there should've been another by now).

 Monotype Imaging: Closed Caption Fonts
Manufacturers are now required to include EIA 708 compliant DTV closed captioning decoder circuitry in digital TVs.
The fonts included with closed captioning software are what is viewed on screen, and need to be crisp, readable, and still meet the EIA 708 specifications.
These new closed caption requirements are known as EIA 708.

 Design for Inclusion: Creating a New Marketplace -- Industry White Paper
This push to move from EIA-608 (analog) to EIA-708 (digital) has brought many improvements to closed captioning.
The 708 captioning format was designed to allow for the use of the entire unicode set, which includes every character in the alphabet in any language plus the complete range of symbols.
The Television Data Systems Committee of the EIA enhanced the Line 21 system by adding new characters and assigning codes that would allow the center of the screen to be used for captioning.

 TE500A DTV Line 21 Transcoder
Line 21 data is extracted from both fields of the video and upconverted into DTVCC (EIA 708) data.
If closed captions are present in the NTSC field 1 or field 2 data, these captions are upconverted to DTVCC (EIA 708) format and output.
The TE500A outputs three fundamental types of data, NTSC CC field 1, NTSC CC field 2 and DTVCC (EIA 708) data.

 fcc00259.txt
The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA) has since adopted a standard, EIA-708, which provides guidelines for encoder and decoder manufacturers as well as caption providers to implement closed captioning services with digital television technology.
In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in this proceeding the Commission proposed to adopt a minimum set of technical standards for closed caption decoder circuitry for digital television receivers in accordance with Section 9 of EIA-708 and to require the inclusion of such decoder circuitry in digital television receivers.
The standard included a data stream reserved for closed captioning information, however, specific instructions for implementing closed captioning services for digital television were not included.
