Added language to clarify that The language of the success criterion is an OR statement between the requirement for an alternative for time-based media OR an audio description. Therefore, if an audio description cannot be provided because there are insufficient spaces in the dialog to insert the Audio Description, then an alternative for time-based media would be required.

Closes #2479

Not sure this is needed, as this is not the only "OR" type SC. would be strange to make an explicit clarification here but not elsewhere. Suggest closing this PR.

actually, in the context of the "other" debate we've been having about videos that don't have sufficient pauses for AD ... this may still be relevant. retracting my thumbs-down, but this may be ground already covered by other more recent PRs that try to more fundamentally address the problem (but have been mired in lengthy discussions) #4460

this PR may be superseded by #1790 if that gets accepted/merged
