Re: emacspeak and w3



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.
