Yes, that's correct.

In theory, yes. The problem is that it'd be difficult since there are too many 
variables. We'd have no idea, for example, which speech synthesizer the user 
wants to use, and how he'd want to have it configured. Also, we can't know 
whether he wants to still use his native text table or one of the possibly 
multiple text tables for the selected language. We also don't know which 
locales are installed on his system. These settings really are fairly 
user-specific even though the concept is general. Perhaps, through use, how to 
generalize it will become evident, but I don't think we know how to do so yet.
