Accessibility and i18n have been the primary commentors to the Speech
Synthesis Markup Language specifications.

So we have been asked if we can give the current draft of SSML a
quick look for major problems.

Diff-marked version, for change highlighting:

Note, for example, that in the changes we negotiated to the
Pronunciation Lexicon Specification it is implied that SSML should
implement @role for to allow one to distinguish homographs.

WCAG2 has requirements in this area, particularly Success Criteria 
3.1.3 and 3.1.6.
