RE: New Caption Definition - please comment

I suggest to add the term "sincronyzed":

text that is typically presented and sincronyzed within or below an audio-visual
    presentation that provides not only the dialog but also sound effects and
    sometimes speaker identification.

Wanna also add somewhere that, if there are two or more people that speak, captions should not rely speaker identification using only different text colour? (this is also an old note that i've send on 2004 at w3c timed textworking group)

    CAPTION

    text that is typically presented within or below an audio-visual
    presentation that provides not only the dialog but also sound effects and
    sometimes speaker identification.

    NOTE: In England and some other countries the term "subtitle" is used to
    refer to captions. In other countries "subtitle" is used for dialog only,
    and captions is used as the term for dialog plus sounds and sometimes
    speaker identification.
