What's interesting to me about the Speech Input API is that most browser vendors don't have access to the underlying technology to make the api useful. Microsoft has the tech, and Apple has it a little bit, but certainly Mozilla and Opera do not. They might be able to afford providing it through 3rd party access, but any one smaller than that (read: community browsers) aren't going to be able to implement this. It's the first HTML standard that I can think of where this is true.
