Comment on 3.3 animated text Checkpoint 3.3 Allow the user to configure the user agent to render animated or blinking text as motionless text.
Further clarification is needed.
A clarification needs to be added on how the UA, if it can, support the configuration of turning off animated text that is directed to the UA status line via scripts. There may not be enough semantic information in scripts, applets, and plug-ins to allow the UA to know if or when to turn off animation. Additional rational may need to be added that clarifies the need to allow animated and blinking text and images to notify deaf and hard of hearing users of information - hence the option to configure it on or off.
