>> For information, here is the list of properties implemented by Emacspeak, a speech subsystem for the Emacs editor. > Why are we informatively giving an implementation report for an informative appendix in the spec? I can give some historical context on that one. T.V. Raman proposed some aural properties, which were adopted into CSS in June 1997 and merged into CSS2 in September 1999. https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-acss-19990902 https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-acss-970630 It was also given a test implementation, in Java (by Vincent Mallet, an intern I had). Later, we discovered that Raman had drastically reduced and simplified the list of properties in his actual implementation - but we were unaware he had done so. Remember this was way before Candidate Recommendation became a thing (and was one of the drivers for CR, in fact). > More generally, why is this appendix even here? Good question. It serves no useful purpose. I suggest that the new CSS2 spec: a) drops this appendix b) mentions in the changes since 2.1 that it was dropped, with a pointer to the corresponding appendix in 2.1 -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2586#issuecomment-381892341 using your GitHub account
