In another thread you mentioned "I want to be careful not to dumb it down
to the point where we impact the mainstream speech industry". The above
statement seems to contradict that. We should realise developers are smart
and would have no problem understanding speech primitives. Also I don't
understand how adding more attributes for accessing the same data and
making an API with a larger surface area simplifies the mental model for
developers.

This is similar to the proposal for adding emmaXml and emmaText - where the
suggestion is to just add emmaXml and let developers generate the text
format if required. Lets not add multiple attributes for accessing the same
data.
