A good approach would be to follow the embedded XML Schema typing as used in SOAP.
See example: http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/webservices/chap3/2/4.ht ml In your case: <xf:textbox ref="age" xsi:type="xsd:decimal"> <xf:caption>Age</xf:caption> <xf:violations class="error"/> </xf:textbox> This allows hinting the type in the most device independent way, while utilizing the strongest available XML typing language. In case of VXML you can convert these to a type element. In case of HTML we can possibly convert xsi:type to a validating JavaScript function. The latter cries out for a volunteer. Automatically generating JavaScript for validation has long been on the wish list of other frameworks, including Struts. What do you think? If you decide to patch the wizard forms and add the type attribute, please consider updating the HOWTO with information how these attributes are being used.
