Two changes to informative content (a note) in normative content (definitions):

  1. Added the word "important" to note 3 to match the wording of the definition (which reads "..to describe important visual details...").
  2. Removed the word "additional" from note 3, to match the wording of the definition (which reads "Narration added...to the main soundtrack...")

Two changes to the first note in the informative Understanding document:

  1. add "additional" to match the first change to the definition note.
  2. Swap out the word "provided" in preference for the synonym "conveyed"
    These changes are only made here for 1.2.3 for ease of review

Two changes:
1. Added the word "important" to note 3 to match the wording of the definition.
2. Removed the word "additional" from note 3, to match the wording of the definition

For note 1 of the Understanding document, matched the change to note 3 in the audio description definition by adding "important" in front of "information"
In the same note, swapped out "provided" in favour of "conveyed", in the belief that is more accurate. For example, if a scene shows something blowing up, and there is the sound of an explosion that matches, it is more accurate to say the sound conveys the visual explosion than to say the sound "provides" the visual explosion.

Closing these compound changes in favour of a series of PRs (#4323, #4324, #4325) that allow the TF and WG to scrutinize and adopt changes in a granular fashion.
