So the relationship between WBXML and WMLC is somewhat like the
relationship between SGML and HTML, in that WBXML and SGML aren't markup
languages that define specific tags, they're types of "meta-languages"
that, when combined with a DTD or whatever, result in languages that are
applications of the underlying "meta-language".
If so, then might there be a WMLC dissector that, for instance, uses the
common WBXML code but supplies some additional information to allow the
WMLC semantics to be understood - and possibly dissectors for the other
WBXML applications as well?
