The <Start> verb allows an application to create a connection from the ongoing session, to an internal or external service. The connection is asynchronous - the application will continue to execute immediately after the connect has started, with the next verb after <Start>.

To close a connection started with the <Start> verb, the application can issue a <Stop> verb - with appropriate parameters - at any point in the current CXML document ("block") or another CXML document that will run later on the same call. Alternatively - all connections will be automatically closed at the end of the call.

No attributes are supported for the <Start> verb itself. The type of connection and its parameters are determined by specifying nested CXML elements called "nouns" inside the <Start> verb element.
