Re: emacspeak and w3

["T. V. Raman" <tv.raman.tv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

shr doesn't use any of the W3 rendering code.

Unfortunately the parse structure that the W3 parser builds is
not exactly the same shape as that returned by libxml -- so you'd
have to do a bit of work before the W3 renderer can eat the
libxml parse tree. But it shouldn't be a huge amount of work.
