I would say there is a difference of valid and awful. A document may be valid but may be awful as well (thinks of HTML from MS Word).


I feel that as much as possible whe should support valid documents, we cannot guarantee what the tool creating a document is like.

OK, I see. The screen reader shouldn't be the problem. I tried your original and get the same error. You are correct that not every document will be perfect, but at the same time a document should be reasonably formatted and not completely terrible.

    Brandon,

    Yes, this attachment fixes the problem. But can we expect that the
    documents that users want to use will be formatted exactly
    correctly? I doubt it.

    Did you have a screen reader running when you tested? I can
    duplicate it with both Window-Eyes and NVDA. Maybe this has an
    effect. I will try it without a screen reader once my wife gets
    home and can watch.

    Vic,

    Try using this version instead.  It is formatted better than the
    one created by the daisy plug-in.

    I removed the strong tags around empty spaces and some other minor
    changes, such as removing empty paragraph tags.

    I found a lockup that is 100% for me.

    Open the 06 Sample Presentations-sr.xml file.

    Control tab to the Braille view.

    Arrow down to the line that contains "Page 8."

    Press home to move to the beginning of the line. This step may or
    may not be
    necessary.

    Begin moving right with the right arrow key. BB will freeze when
    you get to
    the 8.



    Best regards from Ohio,
