I don't think "standard ASS escaping" actually appears in the spec, but the whole thing is quite implementation-defined anyway, so I wouldn't mind implementing this.

Do you suggest escaping {} by default when reading SRT? I have seen some files which mixed SRT with ASS escape tags and it seems I'm not the only one: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2011-November/117059.html
