Emoji will work in the west. The introduction of such ideographs ties in
perfectly with the tendency towards abbreviation and ellipsis current in
Europe, typified by generation-SMS.

This is really unimportant. Emoji are something you will use on a phone.
Just as SMS-users see no contradiction between using qwerty on a PC or STB,
but a 12char pad on their phone.

Why without wmlscript? Client-side scripting is the single (but very
substatntial) advantage that current wap implementations can have over
imode. This is not backward-compatilbility, merely lip-service to it. Some
more cynical than myself might suspect ulterior motivation...
