mhakkinen: A key disadvantage is that inline SSML appears to be more difficult for Assistive Technologies to implement, specifically for screen reader
janina: if we are not ready to ask WHATWG, then we need to figure out our approach

janina: may be they can help us to do it more effectively
janina: we are looking for their help in figuring this help.
janina: I will work on this DRAFT to convey our message more effectively
janina: asking some help from them is reasonable
mhakkinen: it is good to bring back Joanie in this conversation since she has solid expertise in this matter
