Allow the user to specify that sign language video track (if  available) be
rendered at the same time as the video. </new
<note>this was not specified before. it is possible with in the SMIL spec to
provide this capability

I suppose one could envision/contrive a situation where a user might want
the sign-language video track and some other media simultaneously. How
about - using a SMIL presentation with a classroom of students who are
hearing impaired where some prefer sign and others prefer captions.
