Hi Maria, Thanks for taking the time to write.
It would be best if you would submit this as a comment on the "Understanding WCAG" document to the WCAG Working Group. See Instructions for Commenting on WCAG 2.0 Documents at http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/comments/ This way it is logged and best addressed through the Working Group (although it will take some time for the WG to get to it and reply).

Hi, I am a bit unclear about the note on http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/media-equiv-av-only-alt.html, that says /Note: /A text equivalent is not required for audio that is provided as an equivalent for video with no audio information. For example, it is not required to caption video description that is provided as an alternative to a silent movie. Surely this does not assist deaf-blind people? I would have thought that a text equivalent would be needed. /Regards/// /Maria/ Footer Logo.png *Maria Moore* Senior Project Officer, University Web & Learning Services Information Technology Resources Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> | Tel: +61 3 6226 6387 | Mob: +61 438 301 002 | Fax: +61 3 6226 7171 Web: www.utas.edu.au <http://www.utas.edu.au/> Mail: University of Tasmania, Private Bag 69, Hobart TAS 7001 P P*lease consider the environment before printing this email***
