David: This is indeed about time based media. It arises out of a requirements gathering process that is on its way to becoming a PF published W3C Note, current most mature draft (and still available for comments) available at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/src/media-a11y-req.html We want to make certain we've covered two specific use cases: 1.) A transcript that contains time data can be played along with the media (video or audio). 2.) A transcription without time data can still be provided in a manner programmatically associated with the media. The Issue-194 CP is about #2. hth Janina David MacDonald writes: > Perhaps a nit... but WCAG does not require transcripts on images.
