It necessarily is premature, but not random.

The 'cue' feature (…) in CSS Speech is very specific to how a screen-reader-like aural experience is structured (…), thus why this is encapsulated within the "aural box model" right now. You mention future consistency as an argument, but I actually think that consistency in the current Level 3 context is important, so I am not in favor of renaming 'voice-volume'.
