In addition to the pronumciation issues (which might seem to have numerous issues beyond just the three tags under discussion) of the previous thread, there might be visual guidance such as for word art -- the word "oval" drawn (using CSS) so that its letters are shaped as an oval -- a collection of words displayed in the four dimensions of x, y, time and z-index, or alternatively a dozen or two conceivably distinct semantic markups. I'm curious to see what others think about what boundaries there may be to the realm of this project. Which of the N parallel universes associated with a given plain-text utterance are appropriate for tagged annotation within a web-based markup language?

I don't think I saw it in WHATWG's current draft.
