Comment: 
This whole section seems strangely biased.


"In both cases the processor will not be able to distinguish when to
apply the first or the second transcription."


The above statement only applies for the text-to-speech author. For ASR,
this is a perfectly valid approach, and there solution will cause no
problems.


"the current version of specification is not able to instruct the PLS
processor how to distinguish the two pronunciations "should read "the
current version of specification is not able to instruct the PLS
processor *performing text-to-speech* how to distinguish the two
pronunciations".
