I'm sure I've asked about this guideline no less than 3 times in the last few years, and never came across this reply...thanks for finally giving some feedback on this. Annoying, I have to say, as it's clearly (IMHO) a shortcoming of the software that turns the page to braille. Out of interest: what software is it? Do you mind if I forward you email (and my reply) to the list? -- Patrick H.
