                     Applets included in this document do not have corresponding
                     valid textual descriptions. A valid description is a string
                     value for CONTENT that is not any of the following:
                     
                  </p>
                  
                  <ul>
                     
                     <li>
                        An empty string ("")
                        
                     </li>
                     
                     
                     <li>
                        A blank string with one or more spaces (" ")
                        
                     </li>
                     
                     
                     <li>
                        The name of the file containing the applet

                     Add a content to the APPLET tag.

                     The textual description should convey the same information
                     as the applet, and it should explain the role the applet
                     plays on the page: why it is there, what it represents, how
                     it presents the information.

                     Here are cases where applets may not run:
                     
                  </p>

                     <li>
                        Some users view the page on PDAs and cellular phones that
                        cannot execute applets
                        
                     </li>
                     
                     
                     <li>
                        Some applets use libraries written for a specific
                        operating system such as Windows, MacOS, or Linux
                        
                     </li>
                     
                     
                     <li>
                        Some users of graphical browsers disable applets for
                        security reasons
                        
                     </li>
                     
                  </ul>
                  
                  
                  <p>
                     Provide a text equivalent describing the behavior of the
                     applet using the ALT attribute and the content in the
                     APPLET tag. This enables the content to transform
                     easily for those user agents that only support one of
                     the two mechanisms (ALT or content).
