Checkpoint 3.4: Provide a mechanism to manage alternative information for multimedia objects, that retains and offers for editing pre-written or previously linked alternative information. Maybe this should be part of a more general checkpoint to make sure that the user can edit any accessibility information. This is the only checkpoint that specifically states the ability to edit accessibility information. Other checkpoints dance around the issue of editing by using the words prompting, checking and correcting. But if an author enters accessibility when they are prompted for accessibility information, will they have an opportunity to change the information? I assume that during checking no accessibility problem will be found and therefore no opporntuity to correct it based on other checkpoints that would potentially allow for editing.
