The idea would be that AURAL indicates content for speech
synthesizers, BRAILLE for braille content and so on. These terms as
they are already standardized by W3C and are likely to be applied to
web based material, so it might make sense to use them in the vocabulary.
I teach the use of the CSS media type to my web design students as at
the ANU (mostly for hand held and print devices)
<http://www.tomw.net.au/2008/wd/>. However, I have to admit they are
not used much in practice.
ps: Am off to a conference in Malaysia next week, then Turkey and
Greece. If there is anyone interested in accessibility, particularly
for the web, I should visit along the way, please let me know.
