You're right.

It's not on my current to-do list.

This looks like a good idea to me, thanks!  I think it should be easy to
implement using the speechd-speak-read-* functions.

    PL> These lisp functions will use the speechd library. 

Please use the speechd-speak.el functions if possible as they are
backend independent and do all what is needed.

BTW, in case you happen to be a Darcs user, speechd-el Darcs repository
is available at http://www.freebsoft.org/~pdm/Darcs/speechd-el .
