Re: emacspeak and w3

Now that is very interesting. Will certainly be checking out shr -
this is exactly along the same lines as I was thinking wrt moving w3

Since emacs added the interface to libxml, I've been wondering about
how much work this would take, so I'm quite excited to find that
thiswork has already started.
