Dear W3C MMI WG (and in particular the Emotion subgroup),

We reviewed the EmotionML specification during last week's Voice
Browser Working Group call. There was only one comment, and it was
about your recommendations on how to integrate with SSML.
Specifically, the concern was that your second option, suggesting a
new <style> element in SSML, might be misinterpreted by readers as
being recommended or endorsed by the creators of SSML as the intended
way such information can be used in the future. We believe that even
clarifying that this is not recommended or endorsed for SSML would be
insufficient to deter implementers who might be tempted to add a new
<style> element to their SSML implementations solely because it is
described in your standards document.

We strongly request, in section 5.2.2, that you completely remove the
text and examples beginning with "Second, a future version of SSML".
You would then likely need to adjust the preceding text in 5.2.2 to
reflect that you now only describe one option.

As an aside, we happen to agree very strongly with that first option
-- it is a scoped, easily understandable, and backwards-compatible
mechanism for adding emotion information into SSML.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We would be happy to
join you for discussion if necessary.

Dan Burnett, Chair
Voice Browser Working Group
