Re: [whatwg] [HTML5] Accessibility question - SSML

2008-03-19 Thread Nicholas Shanks
Well I already do include embedded SSML on my website. I also  
submitted some XSLT to transform XHTML into a full SSML document which  
can be piped to speech synthesisers like Swift, that understand the  
format.

In so far as this is true at all, it's largely a result of web  
interactivity depending on non-standard widgets. AFAICT, this is  
one of the problems HTML5 tries to solve.


Hear, hear!

We also need to work with screen readers and browser developers so  
that that CSS media rules actually start to be applied. And Webkit  
should join the ARIA party!


A thought (an just a thought), however, that might be worth  
investigating is if SSML could be embedded into HTML, using similar  
principles as is being considered for SVG.
