Try this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="1.0">
<form id="x">
  <field name="abc" type="boolean">
    <prompt>Is this a test?</prompt>
    <filled>
      <prompt>Executing filled element for form item abc.</prompt>
      <if cond="!abc">
        <throw event="nomatch"/>
      </if>
    </filled>
    <nomatch>
      <prompt>Executing form item abc nomatch handler.</prompt>
    </nomatch>
  </field>
  <nomatch>
    <prompt>Executing form level nomatch handler.</prompt>
  </nomatch>
</form>
</vxml>

Under current standard, I believe this should execute as:

--> speakingTTS ' Is this a test?'
--> activating field grammar boolean(boolean)
--> enter voice data
no
--> speakingTTS ' Executing filled element for form item abc.'
--> deactivating field grammar boolean
--> speakingTTS ' Executing form level nomatch handler.'

Under the reworded FIA, it would execute as:

--> speakingTTS ' Is this a test?'
--> activating field grammar boolean(boolean)
--> enter voice data
no
--> speakingTTS ' Executing filled element for form item abc.'
--> deactivating field grammar boolean
--> speakingTTS ' Executing form item abc nomatch handler.'

The current standard says that a form item <filled> element is a notational
convenience for a form level <filled> element which explicitly names
the form item, so that the following transformation of the program should
be equivalent:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="1.0">
<form id="x">
  <field name="abc" type="boolean">
    <prompt>Is this a test?</prompt>  
    <nomatch>
      <prompt>Executing form item abc nomatch handler.</prompt>
    </nomatch>
  </field>
  <filled namelist="abc">
    <prompt>Executing filled element for form item abc.</prompt>
    <if cond="!abc">
      <throw event="nomatch"/>
    </if>
  </filled>
  <nomatch>
    <prompt>Executing form level nomatch handler.</prompt>
  </nomatch>
</form>
</vxml>

but under the new wording, it would not be the same.

Hope this helps.

Dan
