I offer the following proposal based on EH [1] proposal: <NEW> 2.3 For elements with an author specified equivalents, provide easy access to the equivalents through one of the following mechanisms: (1) allowing configuration to render one or more of the alternatives instead of the element; (2) allowing configuration to render one or more of the alternatives in addition to the element; (3) allowing the user to select the element and then inspect its alternatives; (4) providing a direct link to the alternatives in content, just before or after the element in document order. [Priority 1] Note: For example, if an image element in an HTML document has an alternative in the form of a text equivalent, provide access to the text equivalent through at least one of the following mechanisms (1) by replacing the image with the rendered text equivalent, (2) by rendering the text equivalent near the rendered image, (3) by allowing the user to select the image and then inspect the text equivalent, or (4) by allowing the user to follow a link just after the text equivalent. <NEW> Rationale: This proposal does not use any new terminology and also adds that this is something the user agent needs to recognize as author supplied information similar to other checkpoints where we use the term.
