One reference that may be useful in planning the braille style sheet specification is: ftp://ftp.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/CAPS/DELIVERABLES/CAPS.PILOT.PHASE/PLAIN_TEXT/oda_sgml.txt This is an old document and it does not discuss issues of style sheet design. However, it provides a good introduction to British braille formatting conventions through an analysis of the RNIB's style manual, and details the format commands that are available in a particular braille translation programme. Incidentally, the Integrated Translation System discussed in this document is, I have been told, no longer being used by RNIB. A related document discusses the conversion of SGML material into French literary braille. The URL is: ftp://ftp.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/CAPS/DELIVERABLES/CAPS.PILOT.PHASE/PLAIN_TEXT/sgml_brl.txt Unfortunately, the names of the authors are missing from both of these documents, but they were written as part of the CAPS project which I believe was funded by the European Union's TIDE programme.
