I think the value in aural CSS is precisely that it would allow people to customise the presentation without having to worry which screen reader they were using at the time - in the same way that CSS allows authors to get reasonably reliable presentation across a variety of browsers. It is true that browser develpers haven't done a very good job of implementing CSS until now (if they were building aeroplanes I would travel by boat, but a friend of mine who teaches aero engineering does that). But for many straightforward things CSS is now the easiest and most transportable way to customise presentation and think that most people will get a similar experience.
