Kirk,

I support your position completely! Speakup is at the point where
it is vulnerable to the bells and whistles syndrome, where folks
want to throw in the kitchen sink. Stick to the straight and
narrow and make sure each feature under consideration really
belongs in a screen reader. Examples: the cut and paste feature
really did belong; the reinitialization feature really does not.
