Subject: Should we talk about an icon for transcripts in WCAG 2.1?

 

I find a lot of designers of commercial sites don't like to have their interface littered with links that say "transcript".

 

 I notice a few icons online.

Should we mention this in 2.1, that icons are ok, or should we try to push some momentum behind the icon idea... Perhaps that will result in an emerging definitive and recognizable icon (or letter combination). Like the CC for closed captions.
