DTDs associated with WAP 2.0

XSLT transformation sheets associated with WAP 2.0

As a part of WAP 2.0, an XSLT transformation sheet has been defined to convert WML1.3 to WML2.0. Transformation is needed to support backwards compatibility in the case that an implementation of WAP 2.0 relies on a common WML2.0 user agent rather than a dual-browser with a WML1.3 user agent and an XHTML Basic Profile user agent. The following XSLT transformation sheet is associated with WAP 2.0:

Previous Specification Suite Releases

Prior releases of the WAP Specification Suite can be found here:

WAP 1.2.1 (June 2000)

A WAP Forum Approved Specification is a technical specification which is part of the overall WAP Specification Suite. Before adoption as part of the overall WAP Specification Suite, implementation and/or operational experience must validate the specification. An Approved WAP Specification is considered a mature and viable technical solution to a well-defined and pressing technical or operational problem.

A Proposed Specification is a technical document under active review and validation by the WAP Forum membership, as well as the general public, but which not yet have passed the final approval by the Membership. During the review period, anyone can provide comments on a specification by following the instructions below. The originating Specification Working Group, as well as the WAP Forum Membership must consider a Proposed Specification stable and complete prior to its publication

Providing Comments on WAP Forum Specifications

The WAP Forum encourages public review of WAP Forum Approved, Proposed and Prototype specifications. Technical comments and feedback should be addressed to the Technical-Comments mailing list. For Proposed and Prototype specifications, the comments column in the tables below provide e-mail addresses to the chair of the responsible group. When sending comments, please include the appropriate contact information (Name, Company/Organization and Email address) along with your comments.
