I still remember attending an XML DevCon and being a "plant" in the
audience asking questions like "What do you think about Web developers
having to author pages in HTML (XHTML) and then another in WML?" or "Wasn't
WAP a business model" and my favorite "Do you see WAP being merged into
HTTP and WML becoming an XHTML extension?" I think I asked some of the same
questions at WWW9 as well.
