Thanks for the quick reply, Darrel.

What I'm looking for in a CMS is one that takes the ubiquitous (ie: device 
independent) access of reviews, articles, and other human-readable data to 
the front line. Obviously the question of application/context need be 
considered, but what I'm getting at is whether these various distribution 
and interaction possibilities have already been considered or do all CMSs 
expect SysOps to address the DI issues one... platform... at.. a... time...?

Everyone knows you can load any old page into Lynx and get it to read your 
html.. The concern is that it's not enough to have one's pages not generate 
errors per se. Is there a particular resource or review that covers the 
issue of -usability- across various platforms?

Sitellite CMS claims to support WAP, but as you alluded, this may simply 
amount to, once again, just hammering out wall-to-wall custom templates.

Any other CMSs offer WAP support, just for comparative reasons?


Thanks again,
Julian.
