I'm not sure I agree. That would imply that else blocks should behave
the same way:
<if>
first
<else/>
other
</if>
VoiceXML does that. I actually like Hobo's separate else tags so they
can be used after repeats, etc.
<repeat:models>...</repeat>
<elsif:name>It has a name</elsif>
<else>No info for you!</else>
Just personal opinion of course.
