<para>A mediaobject may contain several objects such as imageobjects.
If the parameter <parameter>use.role.for.mediaobject</parameter>
is non-zero, then the <sgmltag class="attribute">role</sgmltag> attribute on
<sgmltag>imageobject</sgmltag>s and other objects within a <sgmltag>mediaobject</sgmltag> container will be used to select which object will be
used.  If one of the objects has a role value that matches the
preferred.mediaobject.role 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>
