Re: 1.2.3 WCAG

The note attached to 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 encourages use of audio description in
place of a text transcript for videos with meaningful audio and onscreen
content that is not part of the audio.
I have filed an issue to have this note modified or removed as it goes
against the spirit of maximum accessibility for maximum number of people,
especially considering that audio description has no use for deafblind
people:
