Resolution status:

8 A number of the test criteria and suggested 'solutions' are far from clear. For example, Guideline 1.2 at level 3 success criteria suggests the use of sign language interpretation for multimedia. Following the references in the specification lead to the "Understanding WCAG 2.0" document suggests including a sign language interpreter in the corner of the video stream. There are many sign languages - for example English and US sign languages are different and believed to be mutually unintelligible. No suggestion is made as to how to resolve this for (for example) an English language documentary. Clearly in this instance one possible solutions would be to use overlay replaceable video technology (as offered for example in MPEG-4 technology) rather than conventional digitised video as offered by MPEG1 or MPEG2 technology.
