Another way to help us get the broadest set of stakeholders possible is for the Speech work to be done in a new WG or an existing WG like with some speech experts (Voice Browser WG or MMI WG?) and then to create some type of joint task force with WebApps. This would have the advantage that WebApps members would only have to make an IP commitment for the specs created by the task force (and none of the other WG's specs) and the other WG would not have to make an IP commitment for any of WebApps' other specs. (Note we are already doing this for the Web Intents spec and the Dev-API WG). Is the VBWG or MMIWG interested in taking the lead on the speech spec? -AB
