The idea is that some punctuation should always be spoken.  With
punctuation = none, eSpeak speaks those punctuation symbols that you
would normally speak when reading text.  For example, plus sign, at
sign, copyright sign, currency signs.  Please advise if there are
specific punctuation symbols which cause problems.

Do I need to change the voice names in eSpeak's voice files (in
espeak-data/voices)?  Please advise.

Are these just "not yet implemented" in the eSpeak Output Module?
Let me know if any of these need changes in eSpeak's API or behaviour.
