Re: ACCEPT attribute for grammars

A browser wouldn't have to generate six different grammars, it would have 
to generate one grammar with six or so rules (or possibly one rule with a 
number of optional parts).

  $command = $stargazer | $astrophysics | $news |
                             ( $stargazer $astrophysics ) | ( $stargazer 
$news ) | ( $stargazer $astrophysics $news ) |
                             ...
  $stargazer = Stargazer;
  $astrophysics = Astrophysics;
  $news = News;

Something to that effect anyway..

How are voice browser developers expected to implement 
ACCEPT="APPROXIMATE" 
in grammars?  It appears to be defined for VXML, but there is no such 
provision in SRGS+XML.  The only way I can see is to create multiple SRGS 
grammars, one for each legal combination of words.  For example, 
"Stargazer 
Astrophysics News" would require six grammars:

Stargazer Astrophysics News
Stargazer Astrophysics
Astrophysics News
Stargazer
Astrophysics
News

This can quickly become unwieldy.
