I agree that's a good idea. A Japanese friend told me that he uses the
Ruby Annotation Model [1] from the XHTML 1.1 suite to provide phonetic
pronunciations. The downside is that it's only rendered correctly in
IE (from IE5, I think), and IE doesn't support the correct MIME type
for XHTML 1.1. But maybe Ruby notation could be incorporated in HTML 5
(at least it's a cowpath that leads to somewhere useful).
