Resuscitation of Deprecated, Yet Needed, CSS3 Modules

• CSS3-Reader (dropped by Style Activity March 2008)
  • Abstract: The keyword 'reader' is a media type for use in Media Queries (similar to 'screen', 'print', 'projection', etc.). Devices that might choose to apply rules inside '@media reader' are devices like screen readers, that display a page on screen and speak it at the same time, or display the page and simultaneously render it on a dynamic braille device. The properties that apply to this media type are therefore the combination of the properties for screen, speech and braille.
  • Gregory J. Rosmaita is currently seeking live bodies to work on reviving CSS3-Reader -- outreach is being made to the Braille-in-DAISY group, braille standards bodies and other interested parties
