Ah, in addition to the features of @alt that I just mentioned [1], @alt does of course also incorporate the idea that one MUST use it. Whereas @aria-label is optional. In my thinking, VIDEO should be implemented in textual browsers a bit like image maps: A short string - from @alt or eventually @aria-label - represents the video. And by pressing the right arrow key, one gets a list of available video and/or track sources. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2011May/0373 -- Leif H Silli
