3.1.2 Configurable Default Rendering: The user has a global option to
specify which types of alternative to render by default and, in cases
where the alternative content has different dimensions than the original
content, how the layout/reflow of the document should be handled. (Level A)
* Intent of Success Criterion 3.1.2:
When the author provided alternative content, it is wasted if the user
agent doesn't render it for users who need it. This is a global option
because it would be an unreasonable burden for the user to have to
change the rendering options every time they visit a new page.
* Examples of Success Criterion 3.1.2:
o In the browser's preferences dialog box, a user specifies
that they want Alt text displayed in place of images, and that the
document should reflow to allow the entire Alt text to be displayed
rather than truncated.
o In the browser's preferences dialog box, a user chooses to
always display the alternative ("fallback") content for embedded
objects, such as videos.
o The user toggles a menu item which turns on the display of
all captions for video and audio content.
