Examples of SSML implementations to reference - would Google's TTS demo site work?

So, we have been discussion needing additional examples of SSML implementations for the spec. I notice that Google has an SSML TTS implementation demo<https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech> which lets people play around with SSML tags and see how it changes the speech output. On the referenced page, just navigate down to the "Put Text-to-Speech into action" heading. You will notice the inconspicuous looking "ssml" link under the "Text to speak:" window. When you click on that, you get some prepopulated code where a famous like from Shakespear is marked up using SSML emphasis and break tags. You can stick other code examples in and see what tags they support. Doesn't seem like they pick up on the phoneme tag, but I verified that they do support substitution. I did not try to test out other tags, but I guess it is probably documented somewhere.

So...does this meet our requirements for another publicly available implementation?

Still trying to get my head around what counts toward W3C requirements for two implementations...

Thanks,
