Question regarding doctype for WAP

    I am setting up a site for mobile devices and would like to use the most generic and compatible format available. Are there any copyright issues with this tag if I am not a member of the open mobile alliance? I also welcome further recommendations:


    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd" >


    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    No copyright issues. It's a public DTD. See this .wml version[1]. As an xml document, you must have all your markup syntax correct, and serve with the proper MIME type.

    cheers,

    [1] Opera supports the text/wml MIME type, or you may use the wapua web browser for WAP wml pages. I used the html2wml utility to convert an html page to wml.
