That part that says:

    <a href="text">text version goes here... useful to the deaf and
for searching and indexing</a>

...is wrong.  It should be:

    <a class="text" href="">the "text version" is pointed to by the
href... useful to the deaf and for searching and indexing.  It could
be plain text.  Or another format.  Like a format that would sync up
text with frame sequences in the media file.</a>
