What about including the alternative elsewhere within the HTML document and linking them together with aria:describedBy and/or a standard link... <figure> <video ... aria:describedBy="transcript"> ...</video> <legend>Title of video <small>(<a href="#transcript">view transcript</a></small>)</legend> </figure> <div id="transcript"> ... </div> I have a question... are 'video links' a possibility under the spec? <a href="..."><video ...></video></a> If so, then I suggest we consider video@alt. (However, I can't help feeling such links will prove more troublesome than they are worth and kind of hope they are already disallowed). cheers Ben
