From http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/aural.html#aural-media-group:
> We expect that in a future level of CSS there will be new properties
> and values defined for speech output. Therefore CSS 2.1 reserves the
> 'speech' media type (see chapter 7, "Media types"), but does not yet
> define which properties do or do not apply to it.
>
> The properties in this appendix apply to a media type 'aural', that
> was introduced in CSS2. The type 'aural' is now deprecated.
The spec attempts to clarify by stating that using @media speech is
valid but undefined, and @media aural is defined but depricated.
So what is the "proper" media type for stylesheets referenced by a
speech-synthesizing browser? The only implementer thus far (Opera)
admits (after some ridiculous digging) that they don't support either[1].
