1. User navigates to a webpage.
2. User is made aware of a feature (a shortcut key) that activates the speech. 
3. User activates the feature using the shortcut key and hears the content (or important part within content) that has been marked up by the author.
4. User disables the feature using the shortcut key.

This bug constitutes a request for a new feature of HTML. The current guidelines [1], rather than track such requests as bugs or issues, please create a proposal outlining the desired behavior, or at least a sketch of what is wanted (much of which is probably contained in this bug), and start the discussion/proposal in the WICG [2]. As your idea gains interest and momentum, it may be brought back into HTML through the Intent to Migrate process [3].
