To clarify, are you suggesting that speech recognizers must always return
EMMA to the UA, or are you suggesting if they don't the UA should create a
wrapper EMMA object with just the utterance(s) and give that to the web
page? If it is the latter then #1 and #3 can't be achieved anyway because
the UA doesn't have enough information to create an EMMA wrapper with all
possible data that the web app may want (specifically it wouldn't know
about what to put in the emma:process and emma:fields given in those use
cases). And if it is the former that seems out of scope of this CG.

I'd like to add another use case #4.  Application needs to post the

If the server supports EMMA then my proposal should work because the web
app would be receiving the EMMA Document as is.
