Re: SpeechRecognitionAlternative.interpretation when interpretation can't be provided

Yes, the raw text is in the 'transcript' attribute.

The description of 'interpretation' is currently: "The interpretation
represents the semantic meaning from what the user said. This might be
determined, for instance, through the SISR specification of semantics
in a grammar."

I propose that we change it to "The interpretation represents the
semantic meaning from what the user said. This might be determined,
for instance, through the SISR specification of semantics in a
grammar. If no semantic meaning can be determined, the attribute must
be a string with the same value as the 'transcript' attribute."

Does that sound good to everyone? If there are no objections, I'll
make the change to the draft next week.

Thanks,
Hans
