 *   This is the Manager layer.  It sits on top of the native Pico engine
 *   and provides the interface to the defined Google TTS engine API.
 *   The Google engine API is the boundary to allow a TTS engine to be swapped.
 *   The Manager layer also provide the SSML tag interpretation.
 *   The supported SSML tags are mapped to corresponding tags natively supported by Pico.
 *   Native Pico functions always begin with picoXXX.
 *
 *   In the Pico engine, the language cannot be changed indpendently of the voice.
 *   If either the voice or locale/language are changed, a new resource is loaded.
 *
 *   Only a subset of SSML 1.0 tags are supported.
 *   Some SSML tags involve significant complexity.
 *   If the language is changed through an SSML tag, there is a latency for the load.
