I wonder whether that is actually delivered to the handsets or
something that content providers deliver to Vodafone which Vodafone
then converts to whatever the handset can handle. The Nokia 7650
apparently supported Vodafone Live out of the box, but I never heard
anything about it supporting any kind of proprietary markup language.
Also the name does suggest the latter use.
