I have to correct this a bit to explain what I think, it should be:
KDE-app : kttsd : kttsd-driver: gnome-speech : gnome-speech-driver : TTS=20
engine
The kttsd-driver there would be in charge of loading gnome-speech (I don't=
=20
know how that's done) and comunicating to it.

Here, it is the same:
gnome-app : gnome-speech : gnome-speech-driver : kttsd-backend : kttsd-driv=
er=20
: TTS engine
where the gnome-speech-driver would be in charge of loading kttsd (that is,=
=20
just requesting it).

Yes, I gave to this a lot of thought.
To acomplish this we would need a generic core... on one side, interfaces t=
o=20
the TTSs and on the other side, interfaces to the desktops or more since=20
text-only applications could use this too.
If you're intrested in this we could start trying to find a model to suit a=
ll=20
our needs, including that the features of kttsd and gnome-speech are very=20
diferent.
Thanks.
