RE: New rewrite of Guideline 1.1 (action item)

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

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.
