	Issue R103-34
	
	Proposed Classification: Clarification / Typo / Editorial 
	
	Resolution: Accept 
	
	We will check all the pronunciation transcriptions with
phoneticians. On
	the example in Section 5.5 [1] we found this IPA transcription in
both
	the Cambridge online dictionary [2] and in the book version of
Longman
	Pronunciation Dictionary by JC Wells. Both these resources shows IPA
	pronunciations. Merriam-Webster (more US-centric) [3] uses a
different
	pronunciation alphabet but gives a very similar pronunciation to the
	ones in the examples. 
	
	Please indicate whether you are satisfied with the VBWG's
resolution,
	whether you think there has been a misunderstanding, or whether you
wish
	to register an objection.

	Comment from the i18n review of:
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-pronunciation-lexicon-20060131/
	
	Comment 34
	At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0603-pls10/
	Editorial/substantive: E
	Owner: RI
	
	Location in reviewed document:
	5.5 example
	
	Comment: 
	Shouldn't the second 'refuse' be pronounced with a short e and a
	non-lengthened u and final z? (Note also that the comment is
	superfluous.)
	
	
	There are other instances where the phonemic transcription seems
strange
	(eg. use of 'e'). Please have them checked by phoneticians who are
	familiar with the languages.
