Perhaps we can provide some attribute values for |rel| along these lines: * "transcript" * "slideshow" * "download" We could then associate such content using the <figure> element: | <figure id="figVideo1"> | <video [...]> [...] </video> | <legend> | <a href="..." rel="transcript"> | Click here for a transcript. | </a><br> | <a href="..." rel="download">Download Quicktime version.</a><br> | <a href="..." rel="download">Download Ogg Theora version.</a> | </legend> | </figure> UAs could then be given the latitude to present this however they wish, while legacy UAs would just provide the fallback for the video plus a series of links. Plus, if UAs choose not to provide any special handling of the content, at the very least it's still accessible to everyone.
