What is it?: This property specifies the average frequency of the speaking voice. Different voice families have different average frequencies (a male voice is approx. 120Hz, a female voice is approx 210Hz.)

Allowed Values
inherit
[CSS2]: Type: Explicit; Description:
Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent.
x-low|low|medium|high|x-high
[CSS2]: Type: Calculated; Description:
These do not map to absolute frequencies since they are dependent on voice family. The obvious scale between values should be maintained no matter the voice family.

[CSS2]: Type: Explicit; Description:
Positive number indicating average voice pitch measured in Hertz or Kilohertz.

Example: Ext/Doc: strong { pitch: x-high }; In-Line: <strong STYLE="pitch: x-high">text</strong>

Before its inclusion in CSS2, this property was first proposed in the W3C Working Draft "Aural Cascading Style Sheets (ACSS)" (1/7/97, http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Speech/NOTE-ACSS)
