Well, the current draft for CSS3 Speech Module implies that display: none; silences elements: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-speech/#speak But the draft text for display itself continues to speak only of layout boxes: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#display And nowhere does the Basic Box Module draft discuss how such boxes are relevant to the aural or braille media types. It would be worth improving the drafts to be clearer on these points. If display is now to apply to audio, that is a change from the CSS2 era where the speak property affected spoken presentation and display seemingly affected only visual presentation: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/aural.html#speaking-props and where the failure of screen-reader/browser setups to vocalize elements set as a display: none; has popularly been regarded as a bug: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ScreenreaderVisibility -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
