WCAG 2.0 has been moved to Last Call status. You are invited to review
the draft guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ and make comments

I've taken only a brief look at the document and reviewed some
previous criticisms I had. Most have been addressed. Additional
commentary is available on our blog at

LOL! Me fast??? I got your reply like 30 seconds after sending my
message to the list!
I did get a tip that it was going to Last Call a week or so ago and
spent some time reviewing the editor's draft -
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/ It's a great way to keep a close eye
on what's happening without waiting the months or years between formal
drafts.

Jared,
I agree with your assessment of transcripts in your blog post
http://webaim.org/blog/wcag2-last-call/. Transcripts provide universal
access to multimedia content. They work for deaf/blind individual, may
provide better support for some people with cognitive disabilities, and
have the added benefit of working without the need for specialized
players, audio support within a player or bandwidth requirements. A
transcript created with well structured html will also be indexed better
by search engines, and will provide good navigational support within
browsers and screen readers. Finally, creating a good transcript is the
first step in preparing good captions and audio descriptions.
If I had my way, transcripts would be level A and captions and audio
description would be level AA. Captions and audio description certainly
add value but they do not necessarily provide essential access to the
broadest range of individuals.
Mike
