Just a quick note that I'm thrilled you've implemented this.  Looks like 
ESpeak will be one of the first drivers we implement under the new TTS API 
architecture.  :)  I've said for a long time that if we don't tell the synth 
authors what we need, we won't get it.  Looks like this is beginning to pay 
off.

I haven't had a chance to study your spec in detail, but I promise I will.
