Dear WCAG Wroking Group, Thank you very much for clarification. I would like to ask you one more question on another scenario. - Flash is one of the relied-upon technologies. - Flash content meets all SC at specified level. In this case, do we still have to provide alternate version by using G190 and H53? G190 is about non-conforming object. If Flash content is conforming, H53 might not be required though Flash content is embedded by using <object> element. Because Flash is a relied-upon technology and users who uses "Flash enabled" user agents can access to Flash content without H53.
