RE: issue 1850

Agree we can close the issue with Ben's proposed rationale.

Consider adding the following to the rationale:

On [date], the Working Group approved the following wording for SC
1.2.1: [Exact wording here]

This would address the comment about transcripts -- they are not an
option at L1.

Hello,

Issue 1850 is the only remaining 1.2 issue we should address prior to
last call.

1850. Captioning on live multimedia at level 1
Description:

Bruce Bailey says:
Any success criteria that maps closely to the Section 508 Electronic and
Information Technology Accessibility Standards must be at level 1.

The most significant deviation in this regard is the lack of the
requirement for captioning on live multimedia (1.2.3). (The recent
editor's draft deviates even further in proposing that transcripts be
considered acceptable at level 1 for prerecorded multimedia.)

Propose closing this with the following comment:

The working group was unable to gain consensus about including this
criterion at level 1. However, our conformance model provides a
mechanism for specifying conformance to specific level criterion beyond
level 1.
