Hi,

I tried to browse http://www.wapedia.org (Wikipedia content for mobile 
devices) but seems there's a problem on http://wap1.en.wapedia.org/
The page is correctly displayed, but when I enter a keyword in the 
search field and then hit return, nothing happens. Is this a bug of 
wapedia or of wmlbrowser ?

Another question about xhtml and wml: wapedia supports WML and modern 
XHTML Mobile formats, with an autodetection of the best format for each 
device says http://www.en.wapedia.org/wapedia:Wapedia . But even when 
wmlbrowser tells websites that it understands wml, wapedia seems to send 
xhtml pages anyway. Just compare
http://en.wapedia.org/October_10?p=3
http://wap1.en.wapedia.org/October_10?p=3
http://wap2.en.wapedia.org/October_10?p=3

As explained on http://www.en.wapedia.org/wapedia:Devices, the first 
link autodetects the "best" format, the second forces wml and the third 
xhtml)

This could be an interesting playgroung to find a way to tell websites 
to send wml, not xhtml)



Also, I asked in I18NGR mailing-list about the "country code" of Greek, 
and here's the reply: "el" is enough for almost every cvs project. -GR 
and -CY suffix should be used only if there is specific regional content 
in the project (currency, zip and airport codes etc).


Sincerely.
