David,

While your interpretation of this provision may be correct, it still does
not address the problem of accessing the information for those who are
DeafBlind. They cannot see the video, the caption or hear the audio format.
The only access that most DeafBlind have, is alternative text of the content
in video or audio format.

This provision and others need to be revised to address the DeafBlind access
to information on the web.
