There is already enough to discuss here. I believe it is very much relevant inasmuch as the text transcript should also support navigation. To put it otherwise, the existence of a transcript should not preclude viewing of the video or auditioning of the audio. It is not a case of either you consume the media or you consume the transcript. We need to support both, time aligned. This is why I don't think the approach of a pointer to the transcript in a context menu--as an attribute on the main element makes sense. It doesn't meet the transcript use case, as I understand it. Perhaps we need to clarify the use case for transcript? Janina
