You would want ducking of the narration when the navigation app speaks, but not to have the entire page interrupted and canceled. The platform limitations are pretty frustrating, with OSX (and maybe the new Win8 API?) being the exception. A lot of discussion about it here: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21110 I also wanted to clarify in the non-concurrent case how to minimize two pages interfering with each other (besides being annoying this is a security issue because of the state leakage) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QojxT6JdNW7lyhRRMjt44ipthhpfGVI_UGftQoJvbbw/pubhtml?gid=605357384&single=true
