See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/ for the specs. Well, I wrote that spec as one of editors ... and I regret to say, that as far as I know and at least in Japan, i-mode service is not going to migrate to XHTML in the near future ... though, it is said that FOMA, NTT DoCoMo's 3G service, will support WAP 2.0 from this fall, and XHTML Basic support is mandatory in WAP 2.0. KDDI, the second-largest mobile phone service company in Japan, already adopted WAP 2.0 for their EZweb service and is quickly migrating to its 3G service. So you'll have better luck in 3G to use XHTML Basic, but ... The situation is a bit different in Europe, as far as I know, the microbrowser shipped in i-mode phone in Europe is capable of handling i-mode HTML, WML 1.3 and XHTML Basic. So XHTML Basic support is there from the start. Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
