Using CSS Speech speak-as property?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Is anyone using the http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-speech/? And are there ways Drupal 8 should use this to improve screenreader accessibility?

Here are some examples of this proposed CSS3 Speech syntax:

code {
speak-as: literal-punctuation;
}
.phone-number, .zipcode {
speak-as: digits;
}

Are there places in Drupal's admin area or in Drupal sites where we should be using this? Or are most screenreaders smart enough to read a zip code or phone number as digits anyway?

That sounds useful

I'd looked at the CSS3 Speech page before and couldn't think of a good use of it that was at all practical. However, that one makes sense!

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who is using this CSS feature.

ps. the link above should be edited as it doesn't actually go to http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-speech/

Phone Number

Now that html5's phone tag is in core, that might be one place. However hopefully AT is smart enough that it's not needed.
