I wonder whether Yahoo adapts its content to the capacity of the
mobile device. I mean, probably it sends wml content if the device is
only able to manage wap 1.1, xhtml to PDAs and so on. I'm not sure,
though.  That's also the reason why I had asked if it was possible to
set different levels of compatibility for wmlbrowser.  If there's a
way to tell to the server that you don't want xhtml but only wml,
maybe this could help. Apart from that, I do not know any other site
that sends different content depending on the accept-headers, if I
find one, of course, I'll tell you.

Sincerely.
