Re: R24. End user should be able to use speech in a hands-free mode

R24 is not quite unclear, IMO. The requirement and explanation seem to
talk about a bit different things.
Yes, I think end user should be able to use speech in a hands-free
mode, but "to speech-enable every aspect of a web application"?
Not so sure. There are applications which will be difficult to fully
speech-enable. For example some drawing app, which needs to recognize
touch/mouse pressure. Sure, user could say, "draw a pixel using
pressure x to (1, 1), and then a pixel using pressure y to (2, 2)", but
that wouldn't be quite practical.

So, I'd say keep R24 (especially with wording "should" and not "must"),
but clarify the explanation somehow.
