John

the choice of whether we use H.264, Theora, or something else (and 
similarly for audio) is *completely orthogonal* to the question of 
how we achieve accessibility.  Also, repeated posts by myself and 
others on setting up a framework for accessibility have met with 
essentially *zero* response.
