Providing open captions that are embedded directly in the video stream

"Embedded"? As by using embed? What are they trying to get at here? Burned-in open captions (a nice, easy, understandable terminology that could be used) or encoded captions that always display even if the viewer doesn't want them (a much rarer case, similar to forced subtitles on DVD)?; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMA] Discussed in the 13 July 2006 telecon: Accepted by unanimous consent. http://www.w3.org/2006/07/13-wai-wcag-minutes.html DONE (XML updated 28 July) change Providing open captions that are embedded directly in the video stream to Providing open (always visible) captions; Resolution: We changed the wording from "Providing open captions that are embedded directly in the video stream" to "Providing open (always visible) captions"; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
