(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P3)

According to User Agent Accessibility Guideline 1.0 item 3.2, mozilla can't
allow configuration not to render audio and video content, except on explicit
user request.

I'm assuming the double-negatives are just a confused way of saying we _should_
have a way to disable rendering of audio/video.

It would also help to include pointers to these "User Agent Accessibility
Guidelines" in such bug reports...

I think this bug is broader than just plugins, but there are probably plenty of
much older bugs for that (i.e. this is a dup anyway), so not bothering.

Note that we have bugs covering all the UUAG guidelines as well as a tracking
bug for them -- just search for UUAG.
