This is a visual-only style.
Hopefully the same style sheet contains separate rules for aural
renderings as well. Maybe render:on-demand could be the equivalent of
a popup, effectively causing the element to be skipped on initial
reading and turning it into something very much like a hyperlink.
FN.short { sound-before: tinkerbell.au; sound-after: gong.au }
FN.long { sound-before: tinkerbell.au; render: on-demand }
A { sound-during: drums.au } /* normal links */
A.dict { sound-during: none; sound-before: beep.au } /* pop-up links */
If there is no such style sheet, you just ignore the visual
styles.
I'm not so sure about trying to use the visual properties as
multi-modal ones. It's not clear to me that there is a
context-independent translation from screen-oriented properties to
other media, even other visual ones.
Another idea for pop-ups in emacs-w3: we also want a fold/unfold
property in the style sheets. Emacs might treat fold/unfold
and pop-up the same.
