Limiting the problem scope to non-visual media would, at first glance, violate our Media Independence and Accessibility design principles: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#media-independence http://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#accessibility If there is a specific reason that a feature only for non-visual media would be more effective than a feature for all media, perhaps because trying to be fully general hurts the non-visual case, then it might be appropriate to have a feature for non-visual users only. But it seems to me that assuming this in the problem statement is contrary to our Design Principles. We should consider all users unless there is a specific reason not to in a particular instance.
