Hi Henry,

thanks for the comments and apologies for my delay in responding. 

The chairs are treating these as IETF Last Call Comments and after satisfactory resolution, we can move onto the next stage.

My response is marked as [SMCG]. For the WG, I've marked proposed spec changes with *** PROPOSED CHANGE. 

Let me know if you need further information or have an issue with a response.

[SMCG]  The <dialogexit> is a notification event from MS to AS, i.e. it is not a response to an AS request. You're right that we could add a <dialogexit> payload to the 410 response when the AS terminates the dialog, but I'm not clear it adds anything to the current design.

[SMCG] The timeout was added because there was a group concern about tying up resources for an indefinite amount of time. I agree that 30s is probably too small and could be increased to 300s. 

**** PROPOSED CHANGE: Please let me know asap if anyone objects to increasing the recommended maximum dialog preparation duration from 30s to 300s. ***

[SMCG] Multiple user SIP dialogs can be controlled through the same control channel. So I'm not sure how your proposal would work.

[SMCG] With a <dialogprepare> command, any fetch failures can be reported using a 409 error response code.  If the resource fails during executing, the MS sends a <dialogexit> with a 4 status. In both cases the MS can provide more detail on the error in the reason attribute. If you need automatic prompt fallback, then this capability is covered in the VoiceXML dialog type.

[SMCG] The text says the <prompt> is optional, so maximum of one. XML schema in Section 5 is even clearer:

<xsd:element ref="prompt" minOccurs="0"
      maxOccurs="1" /

[SMCG] Right - it is the responsibility of the MS to map the <media> playback to the appropriate media streams. The package is agnostic to the mechanism used in the MS implementation.

[SMCG] Depends - bargein behavior is controlled by <prompt> and not <control>.. If the input matches an active control then prompt is terminated. If the input doesn't match an active control, then bargein depends on the attribute of the <prompt> element.

[SMCG] The spec doesn't detail the lifetime of a digit buffer, [But I'd say, yes, at least the lifetime of a <dialog>; preferably the lifetime of the attached connection or conference otherwise the concept of clearing the buffer between dialog cycles is pretty weak.]

[SMCG] Implementation issue on which the spec is (currently) agnostic. [But I'd associate the digit buffer with each connection/conference, and the buffer would be shared between multiple active dialogs.]  


> -          Does <control> automatically consume the entire digit buffer? Th=

[SMCG] Not necessarily - <control>s match against the first DTMF in the buffer. If there are multiple DTMFs in the buffer, then only the consumed ones would be removed. I agree that 3rd paragraph of 4.3.1.2 should be clarified.

 *** PROPOSED CHANGE: Please let me know asap if anyone objects to replacing in 4.3.1.2: 

If incoming DTMF matches a specified runtime control, then the DTMF is not available to the <collect> operation, including its digit buffer.

with 

If an incoming DTMF character matches a specified runtime control, then the DTMF character is consumed: it is not added to digit buffer and so not available to the <collect> operation.

[SMCG] This version doesn't support multiple <prompt> elements per <dialog>.

[SMCG] I agree in theory. However, the event-based model can get complex. Characterizing <control> as grammars (allowing complex DTMF/ASR sequences) leads to some complex timing issues when <collect> is also active. I think that the current model is sufficient for the use cases - real time controls of prompt playback. But definitely a great topic for a later mediaCtrl package.

[SMCG] Not escapekey - it applies whether or not <grammar> is specified. But termchar and maxdigits only apply when a custom <grammar> is not specified. If you think we should clarify this more, please propose some wording changes (I think all the constraints are mentioned but clearer text is always good!).

[SMCG] The <dialog> language doesn't support this feature (although you could use <media> src URI manipulation!). It has been discussed in the group and if I remember correctly VoiceXML dialogs were recommended if you want this feature within a single dialog cycle.

[SMCG] Very much depends on your MS implementation. I don't remember any of the current implementations raising this as an issue, but I see your point.

[SMCG] We've had an IETF security review and they didn't raise this issue. I understand the benefit  in vxml of being able to play a <record> variable directly, and that in both languages a URI is used to (a) locate the recording, or (b) locate the submission target. If your security concern is that the URI structure exposes system structure, then there are ways of addressing this (virtual URIs, let alone system authorization/security). Let me know if I've missed your point.

[SMCG] I'm happy to make this change since our goal was to be aligned with RFC5552 on vxml mapping. Can you confirm that the RFC5552 errata has been accepted (e.g. are Mark and/or Dave ok with it)? 

** PROPOSED CHANGE: Please let me know asap if anyone objects to replacing in 12.2.1: 

session.connection.redirect
This array is populated by information contained in the History-Info ([RFC4244]) header in the initial INVITE or is otherwise undefined. Each entry (hi-entry) in the History-Info header is mapped, in reverse order, into an element of the session.connection.redirect array.

No apology necessary. It is great to know people read the spec at this level of detail, Henry.
