is CC/PP worth using

folks,
  First a general background on what I am up to.

I am developing a server that generates content according to the HTTP
User-Agent header information.
We have got our own browser sort of application running on Palm and
WindowsCE based devices .
The application running on these devices request content from my server and
I generate content according to them . The content sent to them currently is
XHTML.
In future we wish our application gets content from all sites on the
internet.
Now we wish to get hardware/software/application specific information from
the client and then generate the content according to that .
so far , its fine .

Now, if we implement CC/PP , we will be able to have our application
runnning , as the server will understand the CC/PP information.
My question is should we really use CC/PP , becoz if all that is to be done
is just to pass this information, then we can pass this in our own protocol
(which we have).
Is CC/PP here to stay , i mean are we anticipating that most of the internet
sites will gradually become CC/PP aware.
Can CC/PP be implemented over HTTP without using the HTTPex framework?
And is UAProf vocabulary sufficient , or is it just for WAP applications.I
mean, I wish to use UAProf vocab for CC/PP from my Palm and WindowsCE based
applications , can i do so?

your insightful comments please
regards,
sandeep
