Does anyone know about the standards that underlie this kind of voice+(HTML)data response to a query? Has anyone proposed an internet standard for such applications?

It doesn't seem like this would go too far (ie building services that are accessible to millions of devices, from multiple vendors) until and unless such standards exist.

Clearly the mobile phone vendors would be important in driving this, since they have the biggest installed base of phones with screens. Or maybe GMGC could propose something, since they have the service and (though I know little about it) Magic Phone prototypes and the AutoPC service.

It seems to me that there are at least a couple of approaches to this problem. If the connection *including voice* is over IP, then it clearly is in the internet standards domain. If, on the other hand, there's a voice connection that somehow allows data too, then it seems like more of a modem/mobile telephony standards issue.
