I don't have SpringerLink access, so I couldn't read that article. As far as I could tell from the abstract, they use phoneme-level speech recognition and then calculate the edit distance to the "correct" phoneme sequences. Do you have a concrete proposal for how this could be supported? Would support for PLS (http://www.w3.org/TR/pronunciation-lexicon/) links in SRGS be enough (the SRGS spec already includes that)? -- Bjorn Bringert Google UK Limited, Registered Office: Belgrave House, 76 Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 9TQ Registered in England Number: 3977902
