On the specific subject of "Unum": being a latin word, would marking it up as such, with something like <span lang="la">Unum</span>, help the screenreader along with its pronunciation ? Slightly off topic, but: phonetically, I think "unum" should actually be read out "uh-num", not "you num". Then again, this is a debate I've been having for ages with some of my english-speaking friends...but it appears that they always use a very "anglicised" pronunciation, when it should actually be more closely related to today's neo-latin languages such as italian (so "unum" sounding very similar to the italian for one, "uno"). ...but I digress Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
