Unsupported features of the VoiceXML 2.0 specification for the AVvoicxml package

The AVvoicxml package is backward compatible with existing R1.2.1 VoiceXML applications and supports the VoiceXML 2.0 specification as documented in the W3C Recommendation, dated April 24, 2002, with the following exceptions. The complete specification is available at the W3C Web site. The following table specifies the features of the VoiceXML 2.0 specification that are either not supported or supported in a limited way.
