I'm sure they're all possible, but it's a matter of supply and demand.
Demand has thus far been very low for things like VXML so the supply hasn't
been established, at least not yet. If enough people want it then it will
definitely happen. Critical mass and all that.

Well said. We hope you can help out, even if it's just by using the software
and offering feedback.
