I think this is awesome! I may not be deaf but with the limited interaction with the deaf community that I have experienced, they are completely and understandably allowed to expect or request closed captioning. I think this is just one step closer to allowing the entirety of the internet to be available for everyone and that is always a good thing. I think this is just a little late but its better late than never.
