Remove incorrect example "or real-time captioning" #144

Currently

This text appears in an expandable section.

Sometimes you may be applying more accessibility requirements than those specified in the accessibility standard stated above. For example, you may be providing sign language videos or real-time captioning for live media. Here you can list these additional accessibility requirements.

Expected

Remove "or real-time captioning for live media". In context, it implies incorrectly that real-time captioning is not among the requirements listed above, when in fact it is a WCAG level AA success criterion.

If you want to replace it with a different second example, how about "or a plain-language version of web content". (I might be biased, because these both happen to be requirements for public sector website home pages in Germany.)

While the text does not explicitly refer to Level AA, it may indeed be a common assumption.
