aloha! currently, the example contained in 10.5. "The 'voice-stress' property" contains speech values applied via use of the generic SPAN element -- while there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach as it is markup-language agnostic, and hence may be intentional... i wonder, however, if a "learning opportunity" may be lost by not providing an example that includes the sort of real-life bindings for which css3 may be most extensively used: for example, a VERY simple client-side css3-speech stylesheet might contain: body { voice-stress: normal; } i { voice-stress: moderate; } em { voice-stress: moderate; } b { voice-stress: strong; } strong { voice-stress: strong; } as a means of ensuring that an end user can set equivalent values for synonymical bits of markup -- in the age of script-driven sites and aggregated content, it is not unusual for a single "document instance" to contain content that uses both the EM/STRONG and B/STRONG tandem OPTIONS: 1. is this something that could/should be addressed/included as an informative appendix? a sample client-side css3-speech stylesheet for "generic" HTML-based browsing? if so, i could assist in the composition of such an appendix/example... 2. do client-side css3-speech settings over-ride or compliment author- defined speech styling? using the simple client side stylesheet thumbnailed above, would the voice-stress settings set by the user trump those provided by an author, or -- if the author provides different css3-speech properties than those provided by the user (for example, a change in voice-stress or voice-volume) -- could/would the client AND author provided properties be applied to the marked text? for example, barring the presence of a !important on the client-side css3-speech stylesheet, could a speech output user set the currently active speech engine to apply both the user-defined AND the author defined properties, should the end user so desire? <!-- client-side stylesheet --> body { voice-stress: normal; } i { voice-stress: moderate; } b { voice-stress: strong; voice-volume: loud; } <!-- author-defined stylesheet --> i { voice-range: high; } b { voice-range: x-high; } ------------------------------------------------------ It is better to ask some of the questions than to know all the answers. -- James Thurber ------------------------------------------------------ Gregory J.
