Well-designed sites should automatically detect and redirect
non-WAP devices to an HTML version. So, handling WAP/WML shouldn't
really be necessary for a full function device.
I have experimented with (but not released) a WML plugin for Newt's
Cape. it mapped CARD to H1 (and a separate book page), and started to
handle basic formatted text, navigation buttons, timers, links. It
seemed to work ok for a few simple sites I've tried, but I'm afraid it
would take a lot of work to support any site that used all of the
intricacies of WML (not to mention WScript). In general, I couldn't
find many interesting WAP-based sites (mostly "hello world" kinda
stuff).
Another (more promising IMHO) standard in the works is "Basic XHTML"
which is an XML-based subset of HTML.
