Malcolm -

Please note that there are 2 standards standards organizations' activities addressed in my reply.

cdma2000 activities are occurring within 3GPP2.

UMTS/wCDMA activities are occurring within 3GPP - and this is where HSDPA is being addressed. 3GPP is closely, inseparably aligned with the GSMA (the GSM Association).

"..Neither that nor the GPP's efforts say anything about the lifetime of the important patents for CDMA."

To my knowledge, I know of no organization that calls itself "GPP".

And to the contrary, the integration of HSDPA, also called UTRA - which is a high data rate technology intended to elevate UMTS/wCDMA data performance from the present 384kbs for Releases 99 and 4, to 2+mbs for Release 5 - has everything to say about the lifetime of the important patents for Qualcomm regarding UMTS/wCDMA (including the "td" flavor that presently has everyone's panties in a twist).

I'll give you another hint - Motorola was instrumental in introducing the fundamental technology components for HSDPA to the 3GPP. Coincidentally, Motorola developed another High Data Rate variant called 1xtreme. Are you familiar with 1xtreme's lineage? This would be another productive area of research for you to consider.
