I suppose it could. But aren't you then taking on supporting more of the
spoken interface than you otherwise would? For instance, with the API
approach you can take advantage of builtin support for live regions.
Going the sd route, you'd have to replicate that in code, imo. Seems to
me tracking smart regions might be a useful way to manage multiple
windows and irc channels.
