Chris,

The number of handsets supporting XHTML is still limited,
though most mobile phone vendors announced their support for WAP 2.0
and XHTML mobile profile(an extension of XHTML Basic defined by WAP forum).
Most of newest phones from KDDI(2nd largest carrier in Japan) have a XHTML
browser, but I think there are only few newest phones from Nokia and Ericsson
except that.

Recently WAP forum bacame an new organization called Open Mobile
Alliance. I don't know enough information on that, but I believe they will
continue to work on WAP/XHTML specification.
Anyway I think it'll be fine as far as we support XHTML Basic, which is
W3C recommendation.

I read an article that NTT DoCoMo plans to support WAP2.0 and XHTML for
their 3G handsets, but they will support only cHTML for i-mode phones
using current network.
I-mode phones will probably support XHTML as well as cHTML if XHTML Basic
becomes common enough , however it might take a few years.

Just realized that this is an older article (Feb 2001).  Anyone know if XHTML basic is still being
proposed and what the status of cHTML will be going forward?
