We grade based on 7-of-8 for right now. We're still tweaking the security 
vs. ease-of-use (as well as seeing if we can get both with better 
algorithms).

I'm not sure what I can do about that.

Ok, we should look into fixing this. I had a

For audio, it doesn't help right now. We'll fix this bug (it's a low 
priority though, obviously a cosmetic issue. We're going to focus time on 
making the widget accessible).

Those are the names of the files, not alt tags. We put alt tags in 
ourselves, I wonder why they're not rendering. One issue is that we do 
something like this:

$("recaptcha_area").innerHTML = "templte code"

$("image1").alt = "my alt text";

we do it like this so that we can do i18n. Is this not being picked up?

The "you've digitized one owrd" is cumulative. Is that what is confusing.

Keep in mind, this page is a demo. We're mostly worried about the widget 
itself.
