Is it really that different from, say, VoiceXML, which has been around since the 90's?

VoiceXML uses SSML to mark up text to be spoken to the user, and in fact the two standards were developed in parallel by the W3C’s Voice Browser Working Group.

Hopefully, with an AWS offering, this could give an impetus to widespread adoption. A lot of great ideas are simply left dormant because of network effects.

SSML is fairly widely supported now in it's domain (and, unless I'm mistaken, the generally similar features in CSS Speech were modelled on it.)
