As I mentioned on this week's TF telcon, it seems the discussion about the Media Text Associations proposal has reached a point where it would be useful to try a call for consensus on the proposal, and to give everyone in the TF a chance to respond to that CfC, and to have any points of disagreement with it recorded and reviewed in the TF. So, this is a call for consensus within the HTML a11y task force to record a resolution supporting the following Change Proposal: Media Text Associations http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_TextAssociations The "Media Text Associations" change proposal relates to HTML WG issue 9: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/9 To quote from the proposal's Summary section: This is a proposal to extend the HTML5 declarative markup for media elements with markup to reference external associated and time-synchronous text resources. The aim is in particular to reference in a standard way external captions, subtitle, and possibly textual audio descriptions, as well as possibly other time-aligned text such as lyrics, karaoke, or ticker text. Similar markup could potentially be used in future for external synchronised audio and video resources too, but it is too early to experiment with these. Please read the entire contents of the current proposal; then, if you have specific points of disagreement with the proposal which you want to have recorded and considered by the TF, please send them by e-mail to this list. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
