Hello Test Reliability Sub-Group, Thank you for sharing your most recent meeting minutes. Upon review of the proposed "Pronunciation" work, I wonder aloud if the naming there is correct. Will this requirement (for example) reference the pronunciation of individual words or phrases - the use-cases <https://www.w3.org/TR/spoken-html/#introduction> that the current Pronunciation Task Force <https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/pronunciation/> of the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group is working on, which is a subset of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) <https://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/>? The goal of that group is to ensure the proper pronunciation of individual words, which I do not suspect is the larger goal you are working towards, but it is not clear at this time as you are just starting to work on the draft document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nyywZUpB_MjwnjwoLvMW38Mzbru9zftuom_YRDXnScE/edit#heading=h.m3tjcg5jj3eu> . Nonetheless, if the goal of this effort is not the same as the work being done by the Pronunciation Task Force, might it not be worth considering a name change for this effort? Based on my watching this activity from a distance, is not the current goal more around ensuring proper language packs [sic] are loaded for TTS engines? Might that not then be considered "Language Accuracy" (TTS Accuracy?) as opposed to "Pronunciation"? (Just trying to avoid a term-of-art collision/confusion down the road). My unsolicited $0.02 worth.
