I don't agree. In my opinion the checkpoint

   Synchronized media equivalents are provided for time-dependent
   presentations.

says that equivalents of different media should be synchronized (with
these media). For example, success criterion #1 mentions audio track
being synchronized (when possible) with video.

The adjective "synchronized" applies to two or more media (eg. sound
and video), one of which is the equivalent. 
Therefore I think 'equivalent synchronized media' (i.e. media
equivalenti sincronizzati) is better than 'equivalents for
synchronized media' (i.e. equivalenti per media sincronizzati).
