One should keep in mind that the WV spec is meant to be used on wireless
handsets, primarely cellular phones, with SMS and WAP as a bearer.
And trying to type instant messages that are longer that 100-150 characters
becomes quickly cumbersome...

What is interrested however, is that this spec has been largely "inspired"
by the jabber protocol to say the least. A lot of interresting concepts have
been added in the field of presence attributes that might find their place
back into the jabber protocol. The way server-to-server communication is
handled, and the relay functionality is also worth considering.

I also tend to aggree with Ian saying that the TCP/IP binding over HTTP is
not up to the standard, any jabber afficionado will probably aggree. But
there is nothing in the spec that impose HTTP, it's just an implemetation.
(BTW why on earth do they all want to use HTTP as a bearer to do real-time
applications??)
