<para>A mediaobject may contain several objects such as imageobjects.
If the parameter <parameter>use.role.for.mediaobject</parameter> is
non-zero, then the <literal>role</literal> attribute on
<tag>imageobject</tag>s and other objects within a
<tag>mediaobject</tag> container will be used to select which object
will be used.  If one of the objects has a role value that matches the
<parameter>preferred.mediaobject.role</parameter> parameter, then it
has first priority for selection.  If more than one has such a role
value, the first one is used.
</para>
<para>
See the <parameter>use.role.for.mediaobject</parameter> parameter
for the sequence of selection.</para>
