   <burn> Date: 25 August 2011

   changes to section 3: remove bind and unbind

   changes to section 3: add a method to
   createSpeech[Input|Output]Request on the SpeechRequest interface

   issues to section 4: query needs to be async

   issues to section 4: need a function to return the service based on
   the URI for the service

   issues to section 4: need a way to do authorization, possibly as a
   name/password options in query options, possibly as authorization
   for an authorization header, possibly just as proprietary stuff on
   the URI

   changes to section 3: change the type enum to be a bitfield so TTS
   is 1, ASR is 2, and don't need TTSASR if you have TTS | ASR

   issue to section 3: remove the state

   <Milan> Sorry folks, I have to drop early today.

   changes to section 4: need Query to be more specific if this is on
   Window

   issue to section 4: maybe have constructor and set things?

   changes to section 4: add successCallBack and failureCallBack to the
   specific speechQuery function

   changes to section 4: merge filter and options (the criteria is in
   the option, probably as a flat list)

   changes to section 4: filter on required languages and required
   service type and possibly other things...

   changes to section 4: possible filter on audio codecs as well

   <Robert> I don't think you'll ever get browsers to implement SDP for
   anyhting other than peer-to-peer voip calls

   <Robert> I'm having network problems.. audio keeps dropping out

   possible issue to 3: we can have multiple of these, should state
   that, they go away with garbage collection, only issue is how long
   does the service stay open after a query, do we need some explicit
   close/reattach (bind/unbind) or do we just not care...

   changes to section 5: possible remove form attribute or control...
   possibly not since this really does tie it to the element properly

   <burn> on the last issue in 3, above, we decided that we currently
   believe that we do not need to specify whether the web service
   connection needs to remain open for a speech service.

   changes to section 5: Need better definition of "recoable elements",
   probably listing all such elements

   section 5: htmlFor is definitely fine, later discussion sounds like
   control is fine too

   issue to section 5: need some sentence about security model, but
   that probably ties to request object and not the reco element

   issue on section 3 or 4: possibly need a way to check if you have
   permission to do recognition, method on Service (or on Query?)

   issue on section 5: Need a way to get at the SpeechRequest
   associated with the reco element

   issue on section 5: have a SpeechInputRequest attribute of reco that
   is the tied request... this could have the default UA service or a
   service based on URI attribute. From scripting if you get a new SIR
   you can set the attribute to associate the new SIR with this reco
   element

   <satish> Have to leave now, see you next week.

   issue on section 6: same kind of idea with section 5, with a
   SpeechOutputRequest instead of SpeechInputRequest

   issue for section 6 (and generally): Link to the definitions in HTML
   5 (for HTMLMediaElement, but also for "potentially playing", etc.)

   possible issue for section 6: think about CSS audio last call and if
   it effects section 6

   <Charles> Last Call: CSS Speech Module:
   [7]http://www.w3.org/News/2011.html#entry-9181

      [7] http://www.w3.org/News/2011.html#entry-9181

   issue with section 7: missing the actual recognize() function

   issue with section 7: need an attribute to associate the Service on
   the SIR (probably read only)

   changes to section 7: for the method need start, stop, cancel
   Recognition()

   issue for section 7: possibly better to call stop, finish, in terms
   of naming

   issues for section 7: maybe need some sort of grammar object (better
   for caching, and don't need DOM string)

   issue for section 7: need some text that describes what happens if
   someone sets some of these in recognition and some of these not

   issue for section 8: have language in the SpeechOutputRequest
