Making Web pages pronounceable

Hi,

The W3C Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group has announced
yesterday the launch of a task force around pronunciation:
  https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/12/pronunciation-task-force/
  https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/pronunciation/

While the focus of the task force is to make Web pages more
pronounceable for assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers), it feels
to me this would also be relevant to make information found in Web pages
more pronounceable to voice assistants (e.g. when reading an information
from a Wikipedia page), so I thought I would mention this here.

The blog post above links to a proposal that might be particular
relevant to that space, allowing to embed SSML in HTML:
