Re: Video Poster image (was RE: DRAFT analysis of fallback mechanisms for embedded content ACTION-66)

I agree, a poster IS the video.  we should not encourage bad practices by pretending/allowing otherwise.

I have three questions about annotating audio/video resources:
     can I 
        (a) provide a short "alt" text? for video 
        (b) provide a long description?  
        (c) link to a transcript?

These seem to be more important, to me, than worrying about whether the poster is semantically different from the video.
