I plan to remove our code for parsing and storing the values of the Aural CSS properties in CSS 2.0, for the following reasons:
1. We've never computed computed values of these properties or supported them in getComputedStyle, so this code was not particularly useful for anything. (If they had been supported in getComputedStyle, they might have been useful for some assistive technology.) 2. The property set is obsolete; current css3-speech drafts at http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-speech/ have a substantially different property and value set than what we implement, which is based on http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/aural.html . If somebody were interested in using the computed values of these properties for assistive technology tools, I would likely accept a patch to add support for the css3-speech properties and values (especially as the css3-speech draft stabilizes). However, given that a patch to add computed style support for these (obsolete) properties hasn't materialized in the past decade and I haven't heard much interest expressed in using them, I think it's best to remove this code, given that it is essentially unused and not yet complete enough to be useful. I plan to do this removal in: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649119 -David -- L.
