Okay, but if it speaks while it is dropping, then I wake my wife
which is the reason for turning it completely down and starting
up slowly.

But if you hold down the "D" key, you could gradually drop, maybe
in
larger encraments until you reached the minimal volume, then go
up a
little in volume to hear the time, it's the same difference to
me.

I am perfectly happy to press F repeatedly to get to full volume.
The same is not so true of minimum volume - sometimes at night my
wife and I fall asleep to the BP reading. If I want to know the
time in the middle of the night, I like being able to press and
hold the D key, knowing it will jump to minimum volume. I then
press the F key just to the point where I can hear our speaker
and inquire about the time. So while it would seem natural and
consistent to disable the D key's long press for minimum volume
if we make the same change to F, this I would prefer you not do.
