Hi ! One of the dependencies listed [1] in the current Working Draft for the CSS3 Speech Module is "CSS3 Tables". As hinted by my exploration of the public mailing-list archive [2][3], the historical motivation for introducing this (rather loose) dependency in the CSS-Speech specification was primarily to set a placeholder for a future reference to the "speak-header" property of the CSS table model. The "speak-header" property is actually defined in CSS2.1 Aural Stylesheets [4], and it seems clear that at some point this property was moved out of CSS2 Tables [5][6], into the Aural appendix. Now, "CSS3 Tables" doesn't seem close to finalization (by the way, is this [7] the document in question ?), so we need to decide whether: * to drop "speak-header" altogether (I don't have enough knowledge at this stage to assert whether this is reasonable or not). * to reference CSS2.1 Aural Stylesheets (this seems weird, given the non-normative nature of Appendix A, and the fact that CSS3-Speech is meant to supercede it). * to (re)include the "speak-header" property in CSS3-Speech. Thoughts very welcome ! :) Cheers, Daniel [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-css3-speech-20041216/#dependencies [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004Jul/0281.html [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004Aug/0004.html [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/aural.html#aural-tables [5] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/tables.html#q21 [6] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/tables.html [7] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-tables-algorithms/Overview.src.htm
