I just finished a first pass of Rohit Kare's "W* Effect Considered Harmful"
(shows you how far behind *I* am). From what he says, doing a full
implementation of both WAP and cHTML sounds pretty messy, unless
you were to have two completely separate protocol stacks, and some
high-level switch between the two. By "high-level" I mean, like, maybe
even a physical button ;-(
Does anyone have good pointers to any counterarguments to Kare's
essay, by the way? His technical arguments are hard to fault. Has
anyone made a case why W* is a fait accompli anyway? This is,
after all, telecom, not the Internet - the same "IP over all" arguments
need not apply.
