The note for the video element reads: In particular, this content is not intended to address accessibility concerns. To make video content accessible to the blind, deaf, and those with other physical or cognitive disabilities, authors are expected to provide alternative media streams and/or to embed accessibility aids (such as caption or subtitle tracks) into their media streams. What would then be the recommended way to provide fallback content for a video like the following? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Ara_chloroptera.ogg That's a 6-second video of a Red-and-green Macaw moving along a tree branch, with the only sounds being it making a brief vocalization, and some background sounds. It doesn't seem to lend itself either to fallback content provided by alternative media streams or by embedded captions or subtitles. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/
