Explicit permission comes in various forms. As we discussed earlier on
mobile devices it could be a dedicated key, on desktop browsers it could be
a button on the window chrome, in an enterprise environment it could be a
set of trusted intranet pages set by the domain policy and in untrusted
environments it could be a drop down or an info bar or a dialog asking the
user for an extra click. I think we all agree on these models and that they
get explicit permission in various forms. So I think the problem is solved.

Is everyone else ok with a <reco> style markup element and its methods being
the JS API for speech input? A similar model could be used for TTS as well
so a <tts> element if visible on page could provide a UI similar to the
<audio> tag, allowing users to play/pause/seek in the audio stream.
