I understand your point, but lack of aural stylesheet support is not a reason to not use them. Even if the only client that would use them is EmacsSpeak. If we (developers) don't use aural stylesheets what incentive is there for the manufactures to add in support? It think what would be a good start for increased aural stylesheet use would be a Live Linux CD that comes with EmacsSpeak installed. This could easily be distributed to the visually impaired community.

Literally. Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore! An Italian play, Six characters in search of an author. I had all voice description in stylesheets for years but dumped them as they are not supported and they bloated the CSS. Voices are not supported by screen readers, are they? http://www.hereticpress.com/Dogstar/Access/index.html#auralCSSstyle Tim Anderson The Editor Heretic Press http://www.hereticpress.com Email dogstar27@optushome.com IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.
