Joe, I think there is a misunderstanding here about what we meant by the following Level 3 success criteria for checkpoint 1.2: > 3. The presentation does not require the user to view captions and the > visual presentation simultaneously in order to understand the content. The working group does understand that users view the captions and the visual presentation at the same time. Remember that this is a level 3 requirement, not level 1 or 2. What it says is, this is not a minimum requirement but you can achieve the highest level of compliance if you take care to design your multimedia presentation in such a way that users do not have to view captions and the video at the same time "in order to understand the content". This would be most applicable to instruction videos. See reference [1] for for an in informative example of a video that would meet this requirement.
