Some people see the legal obligation to follow Web content accessibility guidelines - whether of the W3C or, in the US, of section 508 - as leading to boring text-only pages. Actually, these guidelines do not exclude the use of multimedia on the web. They say that multimedia should be made accessible by "Providing equivalent alternatives to auditory and visual content" and in particular: "For any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., a movie or animation), synchronize equivalent alternatives (e.g., captions or auditory descriptions of the visual track) with the presentation."[1]
