Hi,

I think FPR39. "Web application must be able to be notified when the
selected language is not available." needs some tweaking so that
implementations aren't allow to give web apps information about
locally supported languages, at least without user's interaction.
I mean there shouldn't be anything like a Javascript method 
window.speech.localSpeechEngine.isLanguageSupported("Some_language") 
which could be used for fingerprinting.
