Processing instructions for validating that a document may access data

Paul Grosso and Norman Walsh
Co-chairs, XML Core

I'm writing to you as co-chairs of the XML Core Working Group about an 
issue that Dan Connolly believes will be of interest to you. The issue 
is centered in the last call working draft of VoiceXML 2.1, an extension 
to the VoiceXML 2.0 language that reached full recommendation on March 
16, 2004.  Dan Connolly has raised an issue[1] with the VoiceXML 2.1 
last call working draft, specifically about  the Processing Instruction 
section [2] which exposes an XML document referenced by the <data> 
element via the DOM to a voice application in which the interpreter 
should validate that the host requesting the document is allowed to 
access the data.

We are planning a telecon to discuss this issue.  Is there someone in 
your working group who can help us address this issue in a forthcoming 
telecon being organized by Brad Porter?

Regards,

-Jim Larson
Co-chair, Voice Browser Working Group
