<larry> As the W3C also struggled with requirements for live captioning and description, so must we. I'd say that live captioning is now widely available and accepted (see the Federal Relay Captioning service we've all been using - pretty straight-forward and in order to link it to a streamed video, also pretty doable once you know how). </larry>
