Of particular interest:
textarea {
     speak-punctuation :  code;
       /* 
          Ensures that punctuation is spelled out
          as 'semi-colon' etc rather than pauses
          inserted
       */
     speak-numeral :  digits;
       /* 
          Similarly, ensures that '237' is pronounced
          "two three seven" rather than "two hundred and
          thirty seven"
       */
}

abbr {
     speak :  spell-out;
       /* 
          Ensures that 'TCP/IP' is spelled out a letter at a
          time "TeeCeePeeEyePee" rather than
          "TuKuPiP"
       */
}
