I propose the following change to the SpeechSynthesis IDL to use a callback instead of events. It doesn't change functionality, but does make the IDL more well-defined and conventional. (The current IDL breaks platform conventions, because the speak() method makes a copy of utterance, and thus event.target cannot be properly defined, nor can addEventListener be used in the conventional manner.) The SpeechSynthesisEvent object is renamed SpeechSynthesisUpdate (because it is no longer an event, but rather a callback). If there's no disagreement, I'll update the spec with this on Monday. callback SpeechSynthesisCallback = void (SpeechSynthesisUpdate update); interface SpeechSynthesis { ... static void speak(SpeechSynthesisUtterance utterance, SpeechSynthesisCallback callback); }; interface SpeechSynthesisUpdate { enum UpdateType { "start", "end", "pause", "resume", "mark", "boundary", "error" }; readonly attribute UpdateType type; readonly attribute unsigned long charIndex; readonly attribute float elapsedTime; readonly attribute DOMString name; }; /Glen Shires
