On the last call I was given the task of clarifying the wording of
1194.24(e). i've uploaded my revision to the wiki, also pasted below
for convenience.

======
CURRENT:
Display or presentation of captions or audio descriptions shall be
user-selectable unless permanent.

REVISION:
A method for turning closed captions or closed audio descriptions on
and off shall be provided. If captions and descriptions are meant by
the author to be open-- that is, permanently visible or audible to
everyone-- a method for turning them on and off is not required.
