I would actually agree with Ted - I'd prefer we take our time to come up with a proper solution to the transcript problem rather than rushing it. Further implementation experience would definitely help. We've also seen feedback on the <transcript> element proposal still coming in and there are further discussions and changes necessary. I particularly want to look at the possibility of adding the transcript list to the Media Controller (through @mediagroup) rather than a @transcript attribute. Further, neither Ted's nor the new proposal specifies what to do with a list of transcripts rendered in the video controls - what happens when a user clicks on it: does the browser just scroll to the page offset that the @transcript points to? Does it follow any links if there are links? Ted: do you have any thoughts on that? Where I disagree with Ted and Eric is that I think we need to solve all transcript issues in one go: we can't ignore interactive transcripts which are really important for blind users' interaction with video. Also, I would like to see the introduction of a solution for transcripts that works for video/audio that is provided through a plugin (<embed>) or a link (<a>) as well as through a media element (<video>/<audio>). HTH. Regards, Silvia.
