Re: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Spoken Pronunciation Task Force

I support the bulk of this, but have some concerns.

Specifically, the *Objective *section suggests developing "... a solution
in the context of existing W3C technologies...", and further developing
"...a consistent mechanism to incorporate SSML into HTML..."

Yet the *Scope of Work* states:

The Spoken Presentation Task Force will develop:


   - Gap analysis;
   - Use cases and requirements document;
   - A *document proposing a technical approach* for providing the solution
   to address the need for accurate pronunciation and presentation of spoken
   content in various languages.

As such, it appears that the *Objectives *and *Scope of Work* are not fully
aligned. To be clear, I support the work items outlined in the *Scope of
Work*, while noting that the final deliverable is a "proposal", and not a
"solution" or "consistent mechanism".

I agree with Léonie that wider review will be needed *before *a solution is
standardized, but I support the creation of this Task Force as pursuing
important activities under the umbrella of the APA WG.
