Description Dominic Mazzoni 2013-11-06 06:58:07 UTC 
It looks like both WebKit and Blink actually implemented this interface to getVoices:

    sequence<SpeechSynthesisVoice> getVoices();

That isn't what's in the spec. Is there any reason to have a SpeechSynthesisVoiceList type? If so, could it inherit from Array or sequence rather than being so narrowly defined?

Yea i think this came up and that SpeechSynthesisVoiceList is not really needed and in fact this is one of the reasons sequence was introduced(?).
Maybe this is covered in the errata already?

Oh! I missed that in the errata. Closing this bug.
