Or if you're asking what the spec should recommend, then just treat it like an
object, and use the internal text or elements.

In other words, replace:

"""
Content may be provided inside the video element. User agents should not show
this content to the user; it is intended for older Web browsers which do not
support video, so that legacy video plugins can be tried, or to show text to
the users of these older browsers informing them of how to access the video
contents.
"""

with something like:

"""
Content may be provided inside the video element. User agents should not show
this content to the user unless they are unable to play the video.  It is
intended for older Web browsers which do not support video, so that legacy
video plugins can be tried, or to show text to the users of these older
browsers informing them of how to access the video contents or an alternate
representation.
"""

And replace:
"""
Note: In particular, this content is not intended to address accessibility
concerns. ...
"""

with:

"""
Note: This content is not the preferred method to address accessibility
concerns. ...
"""
