Vianne,

A couple of us presented a general session on this at the Innovative
Interfaces meeting in Feb.:

WEBPAC DESIGN: FROM OUT-OF-THE-BOX TO OUTTA SIGHT
http://www.bowdoin.edu/dept/library/iug/

If you download it using Adobe Acrobat, you can print it out as a PDF file,
which will include a graphic called "Anatomy of a WebPAC Design".

Another good source of information on Web design for disabled users is Do-It
(Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetwork, and Technology) at the University
of
Washington.  I attended a conference presentation by two members of their
staff
that was very informative.  Check out their web site,

You might try looking at some of the papers from the recent International
World Wide Web conference.  The theme of the conference was accessibility.
Specifically, the paper Cascaded Speech Style Sheets by T. V. Raman of Adobe
might be of interest to you; it talks about the author's work of
synchronizing a speech device with the W3Emacs browser.  The author was even
talking about how tables could be read across a virtual space using stereo
spatial audio (the table would be read left to right across the stereo
spectrum with each column lining up).  The URL of the conference proceedings
is:
