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

[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.

I think it's a mistake to assume a "accessible" or "screen-reader- friendly" view should be non-interactive. 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.
