PaulG: our goal should be to preserve author intent in the markup and not rely on obscure posInteger attribute values as seen in "variant"
16:17:47 [PaulG]
PaulG: some engines support something but it's not in the docs
16:18:13 [PaulG]
Neil: I worry about getting really good TTS support for these things
16:19:19 [PaulG]
NeilS: many TTS voices are very robotic sounding (required for high speed)
16:22:22 [PaulG]
we may be able to map things like prosidy, tone, etc. to "child" where authors can define "child" or a set of feature mappings or default and it's up to the TTS engine to negotiate that
16:23:52 [PaulG]
(reminder the alternate proposal draft is here: https://gist.github.com/AutoSponge/f68870d00b73eaccecb451eef4c3da1d)
16:24:13 [PaulG]
janina: I'm working on my action items. I will update soon.
