<meta>

Description

Specifies general information about the SSML document rather than specifying the document's content. The <meta> element can specify a property of the document as a whole, or it can specify HTTP response headers. Note that the <metadata> element provides a more general and powerful treatment of metadata information than <meta>, by using a metadata schema.

Note: A <meta> element exists as well for VoiceXML documents (see VoiceXML <meta>), and for grammars.
