No source read provides a safe-area test procedure, so this candidate is a synthesis from the stated rectangles. A check needs (1) a named rule set and raster, (2) rectangle coordinates with a stated numbering base, (3) the text or graphic's bounding box measured at delivery resolution, and (4) a policy for motion, 4:3 protection and per-spec force. Sources supply the rectangles and three subtleties: R 95 counts pixel 0 as the first sample; ATSC/BBC express subtitle limits as percentages (origin 5% 5%, extent 90% 90%); Netflix lets motion text leave the box if it is readable inside at some point. An automated layout/caption checker for generated frames is a proposed hypothesis with a test, not a documented use.
