<p class="note">If the content provides a number of settings or user preferences that, individually, only
address one particular aspect of the content (for instance, one option that controls text resizing, and
another option that increases text contrast to a sufficient ratio), it must be possible to enable all
settings simultaneously. All success criteria must be satisfied at the same time for a version to be
considered a conforming alternate version.
