I think your points are well taken and I certainly do not want to start down a road that is a dead end.  What makes me think I &quot;need&quot; VXML is that is what my client is requesting.  That is usually a pretty good determination in my book.  That being said I am not beyond pushing another solution if I think it will be to their benefit.  I am not looking for input on the project design.  I am trying to determine if there would be benefit to Freeswitch of having a built in VXML interpreter. That is my only real question.  If not, I will push much harder on the client to reconsider their request and consider other alternatives.<div>

<div>what makes you think you &quot;need&quot; voicexml,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wouldnt suggest flooding the market with yet another half done voicexml interpreter... </div>
<div>if you try to implement one from scratch, you will quickly realize that finishing the last 10% is more than 90% of the work.   Then its in the state as all the other opensource voicexml interpreters out there.  </div>


<div> </div>
<div>what you end up with just kinda smells like voicexml, and isnt terribly portable.. then you might be asking yourself why didnt i just use some other scripting language in FS and save myself all that time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>VoiceXML from my experience is an all or nothing thing.   People either want it, or they dont.</div>
<div>They dont want a half-baked interperter that cant pass the IR compliance suite.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I dont know how we can offer if it makes sense in the &quot;design of the project you are working on&quot;..  you havent offered much detail there.</div>
