Hello Greg, just a heads-up to let you know that the CSS Working Group has reviewed this issue, and the consensus is that we should indeed fix the links in the automatically-generated index. This will improve the accessibility of not only the Speech specification, but also of all the other CSS specifications that contain such index. Could you please give us some advice regarding the kind of text and title/alt-text (for a given index entry) that would work best for a screen-reader user? Many thanks!

Thank you for raising the issue. As it applies not only to CSS3-Speech, but to every CSS specification that contain an automatically-generated index, I don't think this is a blocking issue for this particular CSS Module.
