mhakkinen: What concerns me is the content bloat and authoring challenge of wrapping individual words with multiple elements to properly form the SSML markup. I see this occurring a lot with MathML in HTML when used to “style” a variable occurring in the text.

mhakkinen: A key disadvantage is that inline SSML appears to be more difficult for Assistive Technologies to implement, specifically for screen reader
17:10:28 [IrfanA]
janina: if we are not ready to ask WHATWG, then we need to figure out our approach
17:11:07 [IrfanA]
mhakkinen: If we see our goal to control the presentation of the text in web content, how would in-line addresses the concerns which is difficult to do
