<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">2. Introduction</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> XHTML+VOice is a member
of the XHTML family of document types, as</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> specified by XHTML Modularization.
XHTML+Voice extends XHTML 1.1</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> [XHTML11] with a modularized
subset of VoiceXML 2.0 [VXML20], XML</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> Events [XMLEVNTS], and
a few extensions to both XHTML and VoiceXML</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> 2.0. XHTML 1.1,
VoiceXML 2.0 and XML Events are W3C Recommendations.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> The language integration
defined by XHTML+Voice supports all modules</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> defined by XHTML Modularization,
and adds voice interaction to XHTML</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> elements to enable multimodal
applications. The defined document</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> type for XHTML+VOice is
XHTML Host language document type conformant.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> XHTML+Voice 1.2 [XPLUSV12]
is maintained by the VoiceXML Forum, at</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> The application/xhtml+voice+xml
