Not at all, I think that this is one of the key discussion points of this thread. At the risk of being intemperate, I think that the current Proposal is that which is naive. It proposes that a class of HTML-rich content only be exposed, in its full HTML richness, to users who can "hear it" but will never see it (and as I write that, I wonder aloud how a Deaf person might access this content today as well). At least this is my interpretation of Maciej's initial response to me. I have not heard back from him since I posed my questions. JF
