- 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)
