The aural rendering of a document, commonly used by the blind and print-impaired communities, occurs by converting the document to plain text and feeding this to a screen reader - software or hardware, that simply reads all the characters on the screen.
Besides the obvious accessibility advantages, there are other large markets for listening to information, including in-car use, industrial and medical documentation systems, home entertainment, perhaps it could even work nicely with a phone.
Consider the following example:
H1 {
voice-family: Romeo, male
}
P {
voice-family: Juliet, female
}All H1 tags will then be read by a male voice, and P tags will be read by a female voice.
