** WAP Proof 2007 Professional

- The key feature of the WML language is that it does not define how the card will be rendered by a WML browser. The reason is that mobile devices may have different screen sizes, different color depths, etc. The same WML page should be rendered both on a small black-white screen and on a smartphone (for instance, 320x240 color) screen. This feature of WML makes the design of mobile pages difficult, since the designer must test the WML-site on a number of mobile phones and must therefore pay for devices themselves and WAP-access.

- The WAP 2.0 specification determines the so-called mobile XHTML language, which is similar to HTML and allows to use style sheets. The idea of mobile XHTML is to simplify the design of mobile content, forcing the pages to be rendered similarly on all mobile terminals. However, not all WAP-capable devices support XHTML. The MIME-type of mobile XHTML pages is application/xhtml+xml, and the user can not be sure that the page is designed for a mobile phone. Another problem is that the XHTML pages may also not render similarly on different mobile terminals.

- The purpose of WAP Proof is to view WML 1.3 and XHTML-MP documents on different devices. It is intended for designers of mobile content. In order to debug WML or XHTML content, the user of WAP Proof should not load the same document to a number of phones, he may switch the terminal by a mouse click.

- WAP Proof works over HTTP like an usual HTML browser. It has some useful features simplifying the design of mobile content, such as XML syntax checking, logging of HTML traffic, direct editing of HTTP request.
