aloha! one area where speech-characteristic changes and aural icons is needed is in conjunction with ARIA 1.0 markup -- for example, to indicate the presence of a "describedby" value for an image or to aurally demarcate the text which is referenced by the "describedby" property if the user has her speech engine set to "read describedby text inline" as opposed to using the cue-before and cue-after mechanism to "indicate presence of describedby text" or "indicate presence of describedby text and speak aria-labelledby/label" in addition, ARIA-demarcated states -- such as "checked" and "unchecked" -- could be communicated non-verbosely to a user using the aural cueing model contained in css3-speech... the use of css3-speech in conjunction with ARIA should probably be addressed not in the css3-speech recommendation itself, but in one of the ARIA support documents, such as the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide: * http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices (latest editor's draft) * http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices also, WCAG should contain a section on the use of css3-speech to control/guide spoken output -- i would be more than willing to assist in the drafting of any such text, gregory. ------------------------------------------------------------- ADVICE, n.
