The first public working draft of the EBraille spec is available! It is primarily meant for organizations that develop software that will read or write eBraille files. eBraille uses an EPUB 3-compatible file set based on the Open Web Platform — using technologies such as XHTML and CSS — to encode braille in semantically enhanced markup and allow it to adapt to the different capabilities of braille reading devices. The file set is designed for both packaged distribution to end users and deployment to the web for online and downloadable reading.

they reference using an ISBN as a unique identifier. I've never seen a Braille document with an ISBN, though. Does this mean you're supposed to use a unique ISBN of a source document translated into Braille, does anyone know?

we've been using BRF files since the 1980's. I wonder if eBraille will have that. Can't see it, personally. Probably going to end up being another DAISY
