How many WML-only phones are out there anymore?  Most of the devices  
that I see people use support HTML (and in fact my phone, the  
Sidekick II, doesn't even bother with WML support).  I think the idea  
of a parallel web just for mobile devices was always a non-starter.   
The best way to support mobile devices, IMO, is to provide a no- 
frills, no-ajax version of your site with very simple markup, few  
images, etc.  WML is a waste of time.

It's possible I'm coming from a biased perspective, though - this is  
the kind of thing that can be very regional.  Anyone out there seeing  
heavy WML use?
