RE: [SSML11] i18n comment 3: Ignoring script and extension subtags

My notes from the FTF in Beijing:

Change text to MUST be ignored and add final sentence that says that
recommended that authors and voice providers do not use the script or
extension subtags for accents, for they are not relevant for speaking.
