There could be cases where the intonation is dependent on things entirely outside of the book. If say a politician does something in the writing that is far from what we would expect them to do in today's world.

How about we allow annotation of text with prosody cues? Mark the words you want stressed. We already use question and exclamation marks.

I'd love that. Writing is a poor representation of language. It'd be nice to bring it up a notch. Here's a suggestion in a paper I wrote on better second language acquisition.
