...and that second point was a very strong argument for having the container
of the actual transcript have its own semantic... screen readers (today) are
notorious for not knowing when they have left a <div> [sic] as numerous
overlays and footnote examples have shown in the past. A discrete container
for transcripts is our best bet for 'self-containment'.
