Hear, hear!

We also need to work with screen readers and browser developers so that 
that CSS media rules actually start to be applied. And Webkit should 
join the ARIA party!

A thought (an just a thought), however, that might be worth 
investigating is if SSML could be embedded into HTML, using similar 
principles as is being considered for SVG.
