This is the beautifull world of open-source so any attempt is 
appreciated most likelly. However I am stil unsure what's your approach. 
This localisation specific issue as in different languages different 
words are used to wspell a letter phonetically. E.G. in english "alpha", 
"bravo".. etc are used while we in slovak are used to use "Adam", 
"BoÅena" etc.. So really the best we can expect is to have this in the 
translation files (like in present) or push synth developers to include 
such features. In reality synth spelling would be preferred but the only 
developer willing to listen to our crazy ideas is Jonathan so Espeak 
might happen to be the only synth capable of all these goodies. In the 
latest stable version it can perfectly spell the letters so I am sure it 
will be quite possible to have phonetic spelling as a good feature 
candidate for upcoming major releases.
