WML is standardised, but not by W3C. For background on it see my lecture

WML may be technically superior to cHTML, but has suffered from WAP's 
flawed business model. However, there are some interesting developments of 
WML around, such as the Simputer's "Information Markup Language (IML):

"... WML caters to one extreme of device capabilities, while HTML caters to 
the other. There is a clear space between these two extremes that 
correspond to the space of handheld PCs like the Simputer ..."
