Re: The two speech SCs

Hi David,

I understand you're trying to be practical, and thanks for the nice 
shepherding of single-key-character shortcuts.

I think the last comment on the other speech SC took it in a good 
direction – I just added another comment just now. 
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/68
Thoughts on this direction? It's testable and not tied to any specific 
speech input technology.

Cheers,
Kim
