Re: lang and aria attributes (Re: Hawaiian Diacritics)

Janina,
What is the difference between your task force and W3C's already existing
Pronunciation Task Force? It looks to me as if both TFs have exactly the
same objective, "to provide for proper pronunciation in HTML content when
using text to speech (TTS) synthesis". But they have already published
draft specifications, back last year.

The important thing with their specification is that it does not ditch the
lang attribute, which is tried and tested and used universally by TTS
software. But now you say your TF thinks it is inadequate, which is
worrying. I hope that does not mean there is even the slightest chance of
your TF trying to do away with it and replace it with something else? That
would cause untold confusion for everyone. Please can you clarify.
