I think there is much to your comments Joe. That is why it is level 3 - which is for people who want to go all the way. In being complete - do we want to include things like this -- or leave them out (even at level 3) and not address that group at all. So far we have erred on the side of including it -- but only at level 3 Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind. Engr. & BioMed Engr.

I know Andrew W.K. is really hot on this even though WGBH itself does not do it, but we have no evidence whatsoever-- none-- that actual deaf-blind people find these combined transcripts actually useful. Plus, no matter what our friends down the highway from Cape Cod tell us, they are fantastically difficult to prepare. I know of a whopping two examples. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility <http://joeclark.org/access/> Expect criticism if you top-post
