Right; but likewise, they can't reliably code against additional features for URI schemes if they're not ubiquitously accessible across all UAs. And in fact, relying on URI schemes only might make it more difficult to do feature-detection — how would I determine that the current browser on which my code runs supports POST-for-mms? > If it's not clear that there is enough incentive from a least a > handful of UA companies to implement an API then that API has a > significantly high likelihood of failing.

Robin reminded us that iAd apparently has a messaging API, which shows some interest from a relatively visible UA implementor on mobile devices :) Also, we've heard from Suresh@RIM a lot of interest on the messaging API, so I assume they would too be interested in implementing such an API (although confirmation of that fact would be good — Suresh?)
