Why don't all scopes other than the global one you describe below 
descend via parent from the global scope?  If they did, things would 
work as you expect, I bet.

Why does each script need its own scope object to execute?  Is that part 
of the VXML DOM spec?

I defer to Igor on Rhino questions, but this question could come up with 
SpiderMonkey, _mutatis mutandis_.
