Re: Action 712 (fast)

The grammar is a little awkward.  I would propose:

Delete 1.2.1 & 1.2.2

Add:
1.2.X Provide Available Information: If missing or empty alternative 
content or associations are recognized, the user agent will notify the 
user and provide a mechanism to relate all available metadata to the 
user upon request. (Level AA)

______________________________________________

Existing:
1.2.1 Repair Missing Alternatives:

The user can specify whether or not the user agent should generate and 
render repair text (e.g. file name) when it recognizes that the author 
has not provided alternative content. (Level A) @@ 712

1.2.2 Repair Empty Alternatives:

The user can specify whether or not the user agent should generate and 
render repair text (e.g. file name) when it recognizes that the author 
has provided empty alternative content. (Level AAA) @@ 712

1.2.3 Repair Missing Associations:

The user can specify whether or not the user agent should attempt to 
predict associations from author-specified presentation attributes (i.e. 
position and appearance). (Level AAA) ## DONE TPAC

1.2.4 Broken Alternative Content:

The user can be notified when the user agent cannot render alternative 
content (e.g. when captions are broken). (Level AAA)## DONE 5 April 2012
