This one is fixable in the TCL portion of the server.  Don't let ESpeak

Thanks for the clarification; that was my impression from reading the code.
Instead of using SSML, might it be possible to interpret DecTalk-style
commands within the TTS server?
This seems like the right way to go.  Is there a good reason not to do it?
