As of current, we do not have a WAP client nor a SMS transport. See below
for more.

This is a very realistic scenario, and exactly of the type we envisioned in
the use of XML. A transport/client connected at your database could push the
information/notifications to Jabber clients at any address. (and even to
current oldstyle clients, through transport translation layers) Jabber
clients could also pull information from your database using a similar set
of XML fragments.

The Internet side, Jabber can support right now. The previously mentioned
Wireless side is currently being discussed/designed/developed, though is
simple enough that a working transport could be running within weeks.
