WAP goes all the way to the Application Layer. Very unlike
TCP/IP which doesn't care if you used MVS or wrote in Lisp.

WAE - Wireless Application Environment
WSP - Session Protocol
WTP - Transport
WTLS - Security Layer Service
WDP - Transport

It defines a programming model (client-gateway-content),
a markup language (WML) and a lightweight protocol stack.
Nothing has been left to chance, or others.

In this respect it is an integrated application framework
and suffers from all the sins of a typical closed system.
It will need continuous tweaking (2.0, 3.0, ...) just like
all other closed systems, until they fall apart. How often
does TCPIP get revised ?

Plus that geoworks lawsuit. Ah!

Question: why can't someone use TCPIP to communicate with
a wireless device ? Is this because of lack of support or
because there are some technical incompatibilities ?
