+The aim of the study was to "deliver a well thought-out recommendation for how to support the different types of accessibility needs for audio and video, including a speciﬁcation of the actual ﬁle format(s) to use. At minimum, a Ogg solution for captions and subtitles is expected, and a means towards including sign language video tracks, audio annotations, transcripts, scripts, story boards, karaoke, metadata, and semantic annotations is proposed."
+This aim of the grant proposal was achieved with great success. In fact, we have gone beyond this aim and created a community at Ogg to continue addressing these issues. And we have gone far beyond a recommendation by also creating initial specifications that address each of the four identified areas of work, in particular:
+* for how to include subtitles into Web pages with a &lt;video> element,
+* for how to encapsulate time-aligned text into Ogg, and
+* a format for the richer time-aligned text data.
+In the next step, Mozilla should look at implementing srt support into the Web browser, and in parallel further analyse the richer time-aligned text categories and their needs. In collaboration with the Xiph community, srt in Ogg should also be addressed.
+Given all this, the grant was a great success and the resulting study points us the way forward.
