Imode is far more widely used in Japan, as it is a very superior open
standard that anyone can author and browse on any platform. I would
ask that everyone in the IETF who cares about these things make an
informal personal effort to try to get cellular carriers to migrate
towards a solution like imode. Looking around a Google search on
"imode" will pretty clearly show how it works.

James,
I doubt that you will find support from IETF folks for something that
breaks the end-to-end model of IP (as Imode and WAP do as they are
implemented today). I want to be able to ssh to my phone (or
equivalent). Anything below that is just telephantisms.
Regards,
