To me your case shows that there should be a way for applications
to provide pronunciation hints for their own interface so that you
could stick to the ISBN label, yet provide a pronunciation
dictionary or so with your app that VoiceOver or other assistive
apps could use (or not use). What do you think?
Or not. I've heard from a linguist that many people who need things
like VoiceOver have their voice settings set up to very weird
settings. E.g. very fast and such. They hear that voice so often that
they can understand it very well, and are aware of its pronunciation
quirks. So your fixing up "ISBN" may be very confusing, and may not
actually be a problem to your users because they know the voice.
In addition, Apple keep fixing lots of things in these voices,
which means it'll get better across the board, so this may not be an
issue in a few releases. I'd suggest you file a bug and let the Apple
Speech Technology group (or whatever they call themselves these days?
"I helped Apple to wreck a nice beach"? ;-) ) figure out the best
approach.
