Re: Action 19: discouraging image replacement

I don't object to adding the note, but it isn't clear to me that C30 is

alternate versions - in which case it is sufficient for both success
criteria. I think it raises the question once again of whether alternate
versions should be listed as sufficient techniques for success criteria.
