Hmm. A quick look at these specs:

* http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile/
* 
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wap/wap-277-xhtmlmp-20011029-a.pdf
* 
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/technical/release_program/docs/Browsing/V2_2-20061020-A/OMA-WAP-ESMP-V1_0-20061020-A.pdf

suggests that these are intended to be strict subsets of:

1) CSS 2.1

2) Modularized XHTML 1.1

3) ECMAScript 262 + W3C DOM + common Browser Object Model (BOM)

Is WebKit's attempt to support these superset specifications and 
interfaces not sufficient to automatically provide practical support for 
the WAP 2.0 specifications for free?

It seems to me that anything from these specs WebKit does not support 
could be found in the superset specifications/interfaces and filed as a 
bug with its implementation of them.
