We have named multiple renditions as "EPUB Multiple-Rendition Publications 1.1", although, I believe, the same arguments apply. Maybe, to be consistent, we could call it "EPUB Text-to-Speech 1.1".

Not really. What is defined in the multiple renditions spec is all brand new stuff - rendition selection attributes, mapping documents, grammar for the metadata.xml file and whatever else. There's no legacy of any of that stuff existing in the 3.0+ that you would ever refer to.
It'd be odd to number it to match multiple renditions and not have a "1.0" anywhere, though.
Maybe we can mash everything together and get "EPUB 3 Text-to-Speech Enhancement 1.0".
Even "EPUB 3 Multiple Rendition Publications 1.1" sounds better than what we have, since the specification is not applicable to EPUB 2 or a future 4+. (Suggesting we rename that one, not a typo!)

What I meant was: multiple rendition was part of EPUB 3.2, and we took it aside due to poor implementation. There are similarities in this respect... (O.k., I know, there was a separate IDPF 1.0 version, so that is different.)

That is true

Works for me
Closing this issue as I've update the title in https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/commit/4f667e26e011c56d204a92820a469291761714ad and the short name in https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/commit/633ad4b1bec718dc1a0b7ba2b054f408652c6c72
The issue was discussed in a meeting on 2021-06-24
One issue I forgot to raise for the initial extraction is what do we name this thing. For now, I've named it "EPUB 3 Text-to-Speech Enhancements".
The oddity here is that this is neither new (it succeeds from 3.2) nor a rec-track 3.3 specification, so it's just as odd to number it "EPUB Text-to-Speech Enhancements 1.0" as it is to number it "EPUB Text-to-Speech Enhancements 3.3".
I don't think the name I have right now works, though, since it doesn't have a incrementable number, so open to other ideas on what to call or number it.
