This is quite interesting since WAP Forums CEO Scott Goldman
recently said:
"A hybrid approach will only be reached if iMode is moving
towards an XML world. WML, the core markup language of WAP, is
built on a platform of XML - Compact HTML (cHTML) is not. As
the Internet world continues its inexorable march towards XML,
only those technologies that are built on that platform will
continue to move forward. WAP will not incorporate cHTML for that
very reason."
So basically he said WAP and i-mode wont work together unless
i-mode changes its markup language.
