Programmatically associating a text transcript with audio- or video-only content

Programmatically associated text is text whose location can be programatically determined from the non-text content."

RESOLUTION: change Text Alternative in 1.2.1 and 1.2.9 to "alternative for time based media"
... definition of Alternative for Time-based Media is "document including correctly sequenced text descriptions of time based visual and auditory information and providing a means for achieving the outcomes of any time-based interaction. Note: A screenplay used to create the synchronized media content would meet this definition only if it was corrected to accurately represent the final synchronized media after editing."
... in 1.2.3 and 1.2.8, replace "full text alternative for synchronized media including any interaction" with alternative Time-based Media
... in 1.2.3 and 1.2.8, change SC short names (handles) from full text alternative to media alternative
