Re: R20. Web author selected TTS service should be available both on device and in the cloud.

The use case I could think of is expressing a "wish-list" of voices with 
which to render a certain text. Like, "take voice abc from vendor v1 if 
avaiable, if not voice def from vendor v2, or as a last resort any voice 
in that language."

But I am not convinced this is terribly needed, given the voice 
selection mechanism we already have in SSML.

Best,
Marc
