It's a new synthesis engine. I assume the newness and the huge size means
that they sound really good, but honestly, they didn't strike me as all that
amazing compared to the HTS voices. Again, I'm not even close to being an
expert in this field. In fact, I'm barely a dabbler. :)

Yeah, it's a possibility. However, Open Office has a lot broader appeal than
a few extra voices, and that's a lot of disk space on mirrors. If there's
enough demand for it, though, hey, why not.
