Just use ASCII for now.  The page won't be readable by anyone other than
those reading with a refreshable display.  This is a difficult issue and it
might help to talk off-line on this one.  Unless the group wants to hear all
about it.

Jose,

Thank you for your response. However, I am unclear on how I get Nemeth to
the RBD through JAWS? On our website, say we are rendering the content as
MathML. I am told (by JAWS tech support) that JAWS cannot convert MathML to
Nemeth. Also, since our users are primarily Firefox users, they won't have
the benefit of MathPlayer (although it is not clear what this provides for
IE/JAWS users in this regard). Our thoughts were to see if we could
transcribe to Nemeth (Grade 1), stick into the web page in a hidden DIV next
to the MathML and see if there are any ARIA (or JAWS specific markup tags)
that we could put on the page to send this Nemeth to the Braille display. 

Thanks
