<p>This document describes style sheet properties for rendering Web
documents as synthesized speech. Using style sheets rather than HTML
tag extensions allows the same document to be read with visual, aural,
or mulitmodal presentation without cluttering up the document or
having to produce three (or more) separate parallel documents - which
has been shown to result in consistency and update problems. This
approach provides greatly improved document accessibility for visually
disabled people (the information is better presented and is just as
up-to-date as the visual version) without requiring compromises in the
visual design of the document.
