I think the idea is that embossed braille is on a page, and has different layout requirements to a dynamic braille display, just as print and screen presentation is often different. TTY is indeed grid, but for a different use case and there may well be differences in the way information should be presented - different approaches to contraction and abbreviation, numbers, etc... But I don't know. I am trying to second guess the people who wrote it from a position of weakness... better to ask them directly I guess via the www-style list or similar. > http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#media-groups cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Fundacion Sidar charles@sidar.org +61 409 134 136 http://www.sidar.orgReceived on Tuesday, 5 April 2005 13:06:41 GMT
