  I'm not sure I'd want to see an XML Parser in my Cell Phone..  ;-P

  I do have an additional question regarding this.  The individual companies 
that you have service with will be required to have a WAP gateway in order for 
your phone to 'pull' data from WAP enabled sites, but how are they looking to 
'upload' the compiled WML script to your phone?  Will this require a connection 
to a computer, or will it require that the individual service provider load 
this data for your computer to access it?

  It's just that I think getting my phone to say, pull a WML script from 
http://chat.jabber.org/content/WML/WAPClient.wml.

  I'm not sure I worded the question correctly, but hopefully you'll get the 
jist.  How does my phone know where I wantr to pull content from?
