It isn't a matter of providing support for their braille displays to read the daisy content as I understand it. NLS does not include the text in their books from what I've been told; CNIB does. In other words, with out without a braille display, you can't access a text representation of the daisy book from NLS, only the audio. So I believe it would involve changing their whole method of production rather than just adding braille support but I agree that it would allow people with braille displays to choose how they want to read and would allow people who are both deaf and blind to read a much wider variety of content. How difficult it would be for them to do this I honestly don't know.
