Thank you for implementing this.

The i18n WG is satisfied with the original comment, however we would ask you
to add a note explaining the use of the colon in the *attribute values*,
such as claws:VVI (or choose a simpler example). Eg., is it expected that
role attributes will always look like this?  Is this drawing on a
pre-defined vocabulary?  etc.

homograph disambiguation
        
        
         
        Issue R103-36
        
        Proposed Classification: Feature Request 
        
        Resolution: Accept 
        
        We accept your proposal to add an attribute in the PLS as a way of
        uniquely matching homographs to pronunciations. 
        
        This will significantly change Section 5.5. We will propose new
wording
        and we will welcome your review.

        Comment: 
        The problem of homographs for TTS and homophones for ASR seems very
        limiting.
        
        
        It might be possible to alleviate the problem of homographs for TTS
by
        altering the SSML text, so that tokens are unique, but that would
damage
        portability of the PLS, and, more importantly, cause problems for
the
        use of the same PLS for ASR.
        
        
        Would it not be possible to tag tokens in SSML so with 'variant ids'
        using attributes that could be matched to ids in the PLS as a way of
        uniquely matching homographs to pronunciations?
