(keitai-l) Re: Question on WAP protocol..

"The WAP protocols try to limit memory consumption on the WAP device by
using techniques such as tokenized byte streams, but then burden the WAP
device with a proprietary variant of JavaScript. The WTLS security component
is tasked with TCP-style segment reassembly. The WTP transport component
adds end-user confirmation into data acknowledgement; it also adds a
mechanism that resembles RPC-style message invocation/result. The WSP
protocol adds state dependency across requests (compared with the stateless
HTTP protocol). Some have dismissed these criticisms as "whining" on the
part of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) veterans who are needlessly
nitpicking." ( Quote from "Waiting on WAP." By Ray Valdés. In WebTechniques
(November, 2000), pages 84-87)

Can anyone tell me whether WAP is a stateful or stateless protocol.
