Re: [wbs] response to 'EOWG Approval – Changes to Media Resource Summary'

Hi Shawn,

As mentioned in the survey I leave it to Editors' Discretion. I do agree that the rewording might sound weaker and wordier.

It is just a concern that really bothers me, because searching for the best media player to make videos accessible is always a struggle.

Please feel free to approach this issue as you consider that will be better.

Best,

While it's true that there is not a media player that does *everything* that everybody would want for accessibility, I understand that at least one player (or two or three) supports all the basic accessibility needs and provides lots of functionality beyond the basics.

We could edit it to something like:
        Use a media player with good accessibility support.
or      Use a media player that supports accessibility well.

To me those are weaker and wordier.

I'm thinking that since we provide additional info here <https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/player/> it's OK as:
        Use a media player that supports accessibility.

I'm very happy to bring it to EOWG for more input if you would like.

Best,
~Shawn
