http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/Overview.html#media-equiv-captions The success criteria reads as follows: "Captions are provided for prerecorded multimedia, except for multimedia alternatives to text that are clearly labeled as such." The first part of the sentence works for me just fine. It's the second part of the sentence that made me go, "huh?. I think what its trying to say is that you don't have to provide captioning if the multimedia presentation is just an alternative way of presenting the content that already exists on the page. How about rewording the success criteria to something like: "Captions are provided for prerecorded multimedia, except for multimedia that represents or articulates again what's already present in the existing text." I don't have to read that statement twice or read the supplemental information to understand what it's saying. ****************** Justin Thorp US Library of Congress Web Services - Office of Strategic Initiatives e - juth@loc.gov p - 202/707-9541
