[Zope] WAP/WML for Cell Phone Wireless Web?

[Cary O'Brien]

Has anyone looked at using Zope to serve WML (wireless markup
language) pages that can be read by cell-phones.  I'm here in
Washington DC, and it seems as if Sprint PCS will have this
service soon.  It sounds pretty good.

If I understand it correctly, your phone sends out a request
which is turned into a http request by the cell phone 
company.  The site then returns wml (an xml doctype), not html, 
which deals with things like what the buttons do, as well as 
encoding whatever content you can fit on the tiny screen.
So all a zope site would have to do is add a new mime type
(not sure what it is), and serve up the wml rather than html.

Using zope DTML and regular zope stuff to handle common menus
and control of pages should all fall together.

The only things that would have to be changed (and I don't know
how to do this) are:

	1) mime type	
	2) file suffix (.wml instead of .html)

Has anyone looked at this?  Anyone interested?
