Hello Chuck, I have no intention to push you anywhere, but what you say
seems to me just another reason for using a higher level interface.  Why
complicate a simple add-on by interfacing to all possible TTS engines
(since there will definitely be people, who don't like this one or that
one), when you can just use a general interface without caring what is
behind?

Well, I'd say: "Why would you go all the way and invent a new TTS
abstraction layer, when there already is one - the Speech Dispatcher".

Anyway, feel free to make up your mind...
