I didn't have any problems with the QT SMIL at all, using WinME and Mozilla Firefox 1.0 - I did update my QuickTime before playing the movie, though, to make sure I had the latest version.
How hard was it to caption, Patrick? Is it real time-consuming? Would it be something doable for each of the presentations that are filmed?

Ok, call me enormous and incalculable...used the chance to play around with SMIL a bit.

Captioned as Quicktime SMIL 1.0. Takes ages to buffer, as it references Zeldman's original, non-optimised 9MB movie :(
Also available is a simple HTML transcript.
I'd be interested to hear about any compatibility issues of the embedded QT SMIL (particularly from Mac users).
Cheers,
