Keith,
Please guide me through this. Is 3gpp not using the OMA specs?=20

For me that is classified as "special" and not part of the IETF specs. =
:-)

If not, have 3gpp tested interoperability of SIMPLE across vendors? The =
ability to add buddies and share buddy lists, regardless of client? Just =
curious of the process.
