Maranatha!

I propose a small addition that could improve this, particularly for users
relying on assistive technologies (like our boi Hal Finney once did).

Specifically, I suggest adding a short section on *accessibility and
voice/UI guidance*. Your proposal does a solid job, but it doesn't yet
cover how these should be handled in screen readers, voice assistants, or
accessible interfaces. Below is a proposed section that could be added
under "specification" or introduced as a new non-normative section.

To ensure clarity and inclusiveness in UIs and assistive technologies, the
> following recommendations apply:
>
> Pronunciation:
> The abbreviation "sat" should be pronounced as /s=C3=A6t/, and "sats" (pl=
ural)
> should be pronounced as /s=C3=A6ts/ (rhyming with "cats") by screen reade=
rs and
> voice assistants. "Satoshi" (singular) is pronounced /s=C9=99=CB=88to=CA=
=8A=CA=83i/. "Satoshis"
> (plural) is pronounced /s=C9=99=CB=88to=CA=8A=CA=83iz/.



Singular vs. Plural:
> "1 sat" should be read as "one satoshi" and "100 sats" as "one hundred
> satoshis" to preserve correct pluralization and meaning. When reading
> aloud:



"1 sat" =E2=86=92 "one satoshi" =E2=86=92 /w=CA=8Cn s=C9=99=CB=88to=CA=8A=
=CA=83i/
> "100 sats" =E2=86=92 "one hundred satoshis" =E2=86=92 /w=CA=8Cn =CB=88h=
=CA=8Cndr=C9=99d s=C9=99=CB=88to=CA=8A=CA=83iz/
>
> Readable Formats:
> Prefer full terms in accessibility modes (e.g., "satoshis" instead of
> "sats"), and group digits to assist parsing (e.g., "12,345" instead of
> "12345").
>
> Contextual Labels:
> Interfaces should use clear alt-text or aria-labels such as: *alt=3D"Tran=
saction
> fee: 14 satoshis per virtual byte". * This enables screen readers and
> other assistive technologies to accurately interpret and communicate the
> content.


If this makes sense, I'd be happy to help refine it or adjust to fit the
structure if necessary.

<div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr">Maranatha!<br><br>I propose a small addit=

chnologies (like our boi Hal Finney once did).<br><br>Specifically, I sugge=
st adding a short section on=C2=A0<b>accessibility and voice/UI guidance</b=

hould be handled in screen readers, voice assistants, or accessible interfa=
ces. Below is a proposed section that could be added under &quot;specificat=
