Re: Request to change WebSpeech to remove usage of SpeechSynthesisVoiceList

I've updated the errata with the above change:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/speech-api/rev/58e2afd5d423

As always, the current errata is at:
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/speech-api/raw-file/tip/speechapi-errata.html


Should we consider a similar change to SpeechGrammarList? (It's not as
straight-forward because the object has methods.) Any proposals?
