<meta>

Specifies metadata—information about the VoiceXML document itself, for example, author or copyright information. When used within a <prompt> or <grammar> element, this element may specify a TTS or recognition property that will apply for that specific speech synthesis or recognition.

One particularly important use of the <meta> element is to set the secure_context property to prevent sensitive information from being recorded in logs.

Note: The http-equiv attribute can be used to specify or override HTTP response header information. See http-equiv for details.
