I apologize for missing today's meeting. I was on a conflicting conference call. I wanted to comment on issue CR#204. Here are the minutes from today's call followed by MR: and then my comments. 9) CR#204: http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#204 Add collated text to Checkpoint 2.6 and 4.8 or create a new checkpoint at lower priority Proposed Resolution: 1.Add collated text to checkpoints http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JanMar/0343.html MK: If it's not synchronized, no problem. IJ: Is this more burdensome than a caption? MK: Same as caption. Resolved: Adopt Eric's proposal. Action IJ: Review Eric's proposal by Friday. MR: a text transcript would be the same content as the captions, but without synchronization. A collated text transcript includes both the captions (of the audio information) and the text of the description (of the visual information). I thought we had resolved not to include a requirement on UAs for either kind of transcript because the current W3C spec for SMIL does not support the identification of those elements. See minutes from 22 December 1999 at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999OctDec/0741.html Authors can and should provide transcripts anyway, however the UA doesn't yet have a means to work with them programmatically. -Madeleine -- Madeleine Rothberg The CPB/WGBH National Center for Accessible Media madeleine_rothberg@wgbh.org http://www.wgbh.org/ncam
