[thelist] FIR and what is aural css for?

[Mike Hopkins]

Screen readers such as JAWS literally read the screen. They translate the screen output (NOT the HTML or CSS) into spoken words.
Screenreaders don't care or know how the information was developed for the screen, just that it is on the screen. Hence CSS for
screen is appropriate. We are still waiting for the day when an aural BROWSER is developed that would use (X)HTML and aural CSS
directly.
