+1, but in configurable and flexible way.

ibmtts, nuance, svox and loquendo.

and I do not see any reasons why we should avoid using those capabilities.
Why do I need this extra stuff in SD if my synth can do this job for me?
we shall provide this functionality in SD for the synths that do not
support it, no doubt about it.

NACK, it is not silly, since e.g. espeak also supports SSML.
Do you want to parse SSML, extracting audio tags from it and play them in SD?
