Currently DV-1 is (properly) a "must," but DV-3 & DV-10 are "should." This doesn't make sense. If the additional track resources which are the topics of DV-3 & DV-10 exist, they should simply be presented to the user as additional options. The metadata for each available track resource will need to be read regardless. That's the only way the user agent can identify which resources exist, captions, described videos, sign language translations, etc. Thus, the user agent may as well present the availability of multiple described video tracks, and described video tracks in other languages---it's already sourced that metadata. It would actually be more work to create a user agent that somehow only provided one option, and skipped the others, and that just doesn't make sense. As things stand, it can only be confusing to some developer who tries to understand why 3 & 10 are "should," while 1 is "must." Suggest all three of these are "must."
