Yes, I did mess with that some and that worked.  However, in the
speechd-el example, I then couldn't control punctuation levels from
within speechd-el.  I think the situation with speechd-el is all
punctuations are sent through and the punc level is set by changing the
punct level in speech-dispatcher.  Apparently, even if
speech-dispatcher's punct level is set to none and --punct is used,
espeak still speaks the characters.  So I find myself with a "all or
nothing" situation:).  

I wonder if EmacSpeak handles this better than speechd-el.
