Requirements on the parallel use of alternate content on potentially multiple devices in parallel (12 comments) http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Requirements#Requir ements_on_the_parallel_use_of_alternate_content_on_potentially_multiple_de vices_in_parallel http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/44061/20080526_media-requirements/results#xq 18 Recommendation: Needs to be reworked to be more applicable to media. This is consistent with comments from Rich, Laura, Denis and others as this appears to be more hardware related. Request further clarification from UAAG. Eric and I spent a fair bit of time with this, before arriving at this recommendation. We both realize that this is 'punting' this section, but repeated reading/re-reading and discussion continued to arrive at the conclusion that this is all very much device driven requirements and cannot see how they impact directly on the <video> and <audio> elements, nor their implementation within User-Agents. In fact the opening explanitory sentence reads: "Multiple user devices must be directly addressable." We can only presume that each device would have a user agent/browser installed at the device level. John Foliot / Eric Carlson
