janina: we looked at EML recently but I'm not sure where it ended up. I intend to follow up with them. They may be interested in this work.

I think that AI-controlled technology falls outside of the scope of what we're discussing with this spec because we're only concerned with author-controlled presenation

for aria-braillelabel, in assessment we may want the test-taker to hear a correctly pronounced word but investigate it for misspelling.

regarding https://github.com/w3c/pronunciation/issues/113, which mentions aria-braillelabel, we will review/remove any references to uses cases solved by it (and pointing to aria 1.3)
