RE: Proposal categories

>> Is anyone working a proposal that doesn't fit neatly into exactly one of these categories?

Yes, ours won't :-)  At least, not "neatly".

We’ll submit a proposal at the end of Feb.  

I think any proposals should be mapped back to the questionnaire results and recommendations Dan posted last Tuesday.

#1 depending on how it's read, seems to be at odds with the voting on requirements like FPR12 and FPR8.
#2 is sound in principle and should be pursued, but feels like a longer-term thing that won't yield results any time soon.  We should also consider what can be done in a v.1 - we may not hit all the scenarios, but if we can hit a decent subset, that's an awful lot better than nothing.
#3 Is attractive, but I'm wary.  TTS is generally a UI element that's used to interact with content, whereas music and video are generally content around which a UI is built.  The different use cases make me skeptical: just because TTS happens to supply audio doesn't mean it has the same semantics as music tracks or videos.

Subject: Proposal categories

Here are the things that I would personally like to see proposals for, in my priority order (high to low):

1. Specify simple APIs for speech recognition and speech synthesis using speech service implementations provided by the browser or platform ("default speech services" in our requirements terminology).

2. Work with other groups (e.g. RTC-Web) to add a general mechanism for audio streaming with the features needed for speech recognition.

3. Enhance existing and proposed audio playback APIs (such as HTML <audio> and the proposed JS audio APIs) to work for TTS from web-app specified network speech synthesizers.

What do you think of this division? Who is planning to submit proposals in what categories? Is anyone working a proposal that doesn't fit neatly into exactly one of these categories?
