Editing WAP

'''WAP''' or Wireless Application Protocol is part of the [[IMT-2000]] [[ITU]] standards that includes [[GPRS]], [[Bluetooth]], [[DECT]] and [[UMTS]].  It has been the subject of much [[pro-technology propaganda]].

A maximum of 1397 bytes of compressed content per page is the maximum in order to work with currently fielded devices like a five-year-old,
four-line-display [[Nokia]].

However, WAP is basically dead:  [[XHTML]] and [[CSS]] have supplanted it, offering easier (and more widespread) implementation with very little additional overhead.  

"[[MediaWiki XHTML]] source is hardly ideal, but it works.  The lightweight
skins make it perfectly suitable for the kind of dynamic interaction we
would ask from it with WAP, and for a more tailored interface there's
always [[TomeRaider]]." - [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2004-July/016048.html]
