Subject: Re: [emergency-msg] Backward compatibility
Ah! Thanks for the clarification, Art, I was a bit confused but the connection has now been made and I agree with you. Partly my confusion was due to the fact that I am about to venture into VoiceXML waters, where, as it turns out, v2.0 which is what most everyone is using or preparing to switch to imminently, is not backwardly compatible with v1.0 and we just had a rather lengthy discussion in another venue about whether to consider compatibility with 1.0 and decided against it. Generally, this is something I am rather vehemently against, but I was convinced due in no small part to my own ignorance of said subject as I try to get up to speed on it, AND not having to learn v1.0 was the path of least resistance. That's not a good argument for such a practice, and I don't recommend it. I just admit to it. I was also overruled on a number of issues. However, I mention all this because I'm getting my feet wet these waters largely because of my participation in Web Services for Remote Portlets TC, where I somehow volunteered to chair the markup subcommittee. It strikes me as a very likely that VoiceXML for ICS Forms via telephonic devices on the fly will rear its head all too soon. Eventually, I'm sure we will also see voice activated pda/notebook type mobile and/or handheld devices that we will want to use effectively in EM, and while we are looking at infrastructure and versioning issues, we might as well start thinking about these things, too.
