That page doesn't work as described on Safari, seen from here (latest
WebKit nightly build -OS X) and Safari3.03beta - both OS X and WinXP).
But Mac OS X 10.4 (and esp. Safari) has build in screen reading
technology: VoiceOver.
Turn VoiceOver on (command F5), and you can have the page read to
you. See [1] for a quick howto.
No need for special (x)html code.
iCab also has this option (from the View menu).
Firefox and Camino nightly trunk builds will have support for
VoiceOver in the future (currently you'll need to make a custom build
from the Gecko 1.9 trunk to enjoy it. Basically, it works, but there
are still rough edges. In a Camino build, it only works on the chrome
part at the moment, not on the content part.).
I tried that page in Opera 9.5 alpha, but it didn't seem to make any
noise. But maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere. I haven't read much
about that issue, yet.
Opera 9.5a also seem to have basic support for VoiceOver (again,
chrome only, as far as I could test).
