A transcript extension for HTML Note Published

   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5033>

   The HTML Working Group has published a Group Note of "A
   transcript extension for HTML." This document describes an
   extension to HTML which explicitly identifies a transcript
   linked to a media object such as audio or video. It was created
   to meet requirements for transcriptions that are described in
   the Media Accessibility User Requirements (MAUR).
