Re: New (proposed) SC 3.1.6 A mechanism is available for finding specific pronunciation of words where meaning cannot be determined without pronunciation

there is a pronosiation specification at the W3
It seems much easier then Ruby.

just link to the right pronisation in th header

to make a clear scope statement RDF can be used
