w3clogo.pngVoiceXML 3.0 specification continues its march toward release with the W3C Voice Browser Working Group releasing the latest working draft of the VoiceXML 3.0 specification at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-voicexml30-20100831/

This newest draft lists these changes:

  • In Section 8.2.5 replaced fetchtimeout with {audio, document, grammar, object, script}fetchtimeout.
  • Many, many editorial changes, including the removal of many out-of-date editorial notes
  • In section 6.5.2 adjusted text to allow for SSML documents containing extensions.
  • In section 6.6.1.1 added fetching attributes by reference to section 8.1.
  • Also updated all other uses of these attributes to point to section 8.1.

  • Added media fetch properties into section 8.2.5.
  • Removed <media> as a child of <property> in section 6.6.1.

    As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve personally found that the best way to understand the changes is to view the “diff” of the version from the previous version at:

    Voxeo’s Dan Burnett, co-editor-in-chief of the specification, indicated that this working draft was primarily focused on editorial changes and cleanup of the text. He said there will be more substantive changes in the next draft of the VoiceXML 3 specification targeted right now to come out at the end of February.

    Given our interest in VoiceXML and VoiceXML 3, we’ll be continuing to write about it here… you can see related stories at:
