RE: WCAG 2.0 Checkpoint "Handles" or Short Names

I think Giorgio's reading of the checkpoint is correct: the equivalents
(e.g., text captions) should be synchronized with the media they serve
(e.g., a video with soundtrack).

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).
