Hi, Adam and all, As far as I know most screen readers today do not read <b>, <i>, <strong> or <em> (or <ins>, or <del>, or many others) in a different tone or voice, unless the user specifically enables this setting. Moreover, even if it is possible, most blind people I know don't like these changes to occur because the voice changes are more confusing than helpful. Regards, Ramón. Adam asked: > Does this mean that when/if this becomes a specification (worded this > way, I mean), a compliant user agent e.g. a screenreader would read *b* > with no change in tone or voice?
