"Large" is a relative term :-) .. AFAIK, Nokia and a few other device vendors provide the UAProf header, but unfortunately it just didn't get any adoption from the (new) dominant smartphone vendors. The URL + dictionary structure it provides is (I believe) way too complicated for what it needs to be (RDF dicts + entire process to define them, questions about who and what maintains them, and so on). I think we can get 95% of the value with 95% less overhead, and we do need a solution.. ig > > > /Martin Nilsson > > > -- > Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ >
