Hi everyone, I am writing to this list to make an enquiry regarding aural style sheets, particularly their media type. I have already posted this question over on the CSS Validator mailing list [1], but feel that this list is a more appropriate place to ask. Basically, my question is: which is the preferred media type for aural CSS *at present*: aural or speech? It seems like a straightforward question, but the most up-to-date and authoritative document, the CSS 2.1 Specification [2], (I think at least) is quite ambiguous on this matter: “This means that a style sheet such as [‘speech’ example code] is valid, but that its meaning is not defined by CSS 2.1, while [‘aural’ example code] is deprecated, but defined by this appendix.” The CSS3 Speech Module [3] does state that 'speech' is the preferred media type for future use, but as this document is still has a status of Working Draft, which I thought were not authoritative documents. So, in a nutshell, if I wanted to create a valid CSS 2.1 aural style sheet *today*, preferably forwards-compatible with CSS3, which is the correct/best media type to use? I would be very grateful if someone could help to clear this up!
