Current:
"3.1.3 Browse and Render: The user can browse the alternatives,
switch between them, and render them according to the following
(Level A)"
Proposed rewrite:
"3.1.3 Choose and Render Alternative Content: The user can determine
which forms of alternative content that are available for an
element, select between them, and have them rendered according to
the following...".
This addresses four concerns:
* The wording of 3.1.3 does not make it clear whether it's talking
about a global option (e.g. replace all images with their alt
text) or a per-element command (e.g. replace the selected image
with its alt text). Because 3.1.2 already requires the former,
3.1.3 must be requiring the latter, but its wording does not make
this clear if read on its own.
* The phrase "the alternatives" is pretty vague, so "available
alternative content" would be more specific.
* The word "browse" in the title and text might be a bit ambiguous
because readers may associate it with browsing to Web pages.
* The title "Browse and Render" is very vague when taken out of
context, so I suggested adding the word "Alternative Content" as
with 3.1.1.
Thanks,
Greg
