It is not at all clear that we should add any kind of element.
What I'm probably going to propose is an JS object, which controls
speech recognition and which is the entry point for
speech recognition related DOM event stream.

Then it is up to the web app (or script libraries) to
handle multimodal integration; this way we don't
limit multimodal input to speech+keyboard, but also mouse/touch
/whatever events can be handled easily.
