I have a perl renderer (which relies on sgmls) that might do this job in
an acceptable manner, although it requires a valid HTML document to work
right. It understands TABLEs, although it doesn't render them... currently
it just displays a range of rows and columns covered by each cell. How
would speech users like tables "rendered"? The perl script uses a fairly
flexible "stylesheet" to determine rendering, and could be adapted to
display arbitrary text before/after elements. Is there any real interest
in such a tool?
One thing at a time.
There is real pain the way things are, now.
I have a notion of a tool that I think would make things
enough better so that people would use it. That's conjecture
at this time. [how to handle tables is definitely an
iterative search research topic...]
A production tool would want to be more tolerant of
tag soup than SGMLS is, I suspect.
BUT, your tool could be just what we need to have a shot
at rapid implementation of a prototype that proves we
can get into the paydirt zone, in terms of user evaluation.
Just to show that people would really want it, it's OK
if it is not ready for all the vicissitutes of real-world
sorta-HTML pages.
Would you think about how hard it would be, in your style-driven
renderer, to "render" a SELECT widget into a stacked radio button
more or less like the ones found in
Linkname: Finding accessible publications by KEYWORDs
URL: http://www.access.digex.net/~asgilman/temp/bar/bphretr.html
? That's my current example widget where I think that you could do
a pretty dumb purely syntax-directed transform and get a solid user
preference gain.

PS: does SGMLS come with a writer? I mean a parse-tree-to-SGML
writer? We can do a little tree/tree mungeing in the middle
and have a filter, right?
