3.9 Speech Synthesis: the speak-as descriptor
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-counter-styles/#counter-style-speak-as

What do we expect will happen if the UA doesn't know how to pronounce a letter of the alphabet or a number in the language of the text? Eg. what would it do for text i might mark up in some fairly uncommon language such as Abkhazian, or Aragonese, or Aymara?

Related notes:

It would do the same thing as it did if you had <span lang=Abkhazian>1234</span>. Don't think this is really an issue. :)
