Since the media attribute is meant to designate the type of medium in which the document is to be presented rather than the type of output device, I would amend my original suggestion as follows: media="braille embossed" (formatting for a braille embosser) media="braille displayed" (formatting for presentation by a refreshable braille display) It may also be desirable to include extra parameters for designating the line and page dimensions of the braille device. I suggest that it would be premature to include these suggestions in Tuesday's HTML release and that the entire matter requires further consideration and discussion. The implications of recent developments in braille display technology, which may lead to the wider availability of refreshable displays that are capable of representing multiple lines of text, should also be examined. Jason White.
