No. Remember that most of the thinsg from OpenWave concerns to squeeze some
more out of the almost dead WAP 1.x protocol, by partly using some of the
extensions they made for KDDI. These are actually rather HDML extensions
than WAP extensions, and definitely not that should be of concern for those
more targeted for i-mode and WAP 2.0.
