Speaking of Standards

As the VoiceXML 3.0 specification makes its way toward release, the W3C Voice Browser Working Group announced today the seventh working draft of the VoiceXML 3.0 specification at:

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

This newest draft listed only these changes:

• Revised Legacy profile description to match current thinking.
• Removed SIV Resource (section 5.4) since it is now covered along with the recognition resource in section 5.3.
• Update section 4.4 (Event Model) to match our current thinking about DOM events as the underlying model for all flow control
• Cleaned up text in sections 1, 2, and 5

Per Voxeo’s Dan Burnett, co-editor-in-chief of the specification, the biggest change is the third bullet about the updates to the event model (section 4.4).

Personally, I’ve found the best way to understand the changes is to view the “diff” of the version from the previous version at:

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