Hi guys,

Does anyone here have any experience in converting the information in the
WURFL format [1] to the "browser definition schema" format [2] supported by
ASPNET 2.0? *Ideally* I'd like to convert the latest WURFL from time to
time, re-run [3], and go have a coffee knowing that I support most mobile
browsers out there.

Conversion isn't as straight-forward as one might think - the same
capabilities have not only different names on the two schemas, but also
different values that actually have the same _meaning_; the schema semantics
are totally different. An example:

WURFL:   <capability name="wmlscript_1_1" value="true"/>
being listed *before*
               <capability name="wmlscript_1_2" value="true"/>

maps to

.browser: <capability name="preferredRenderingType"      value="wml11" />

Why don't browser vendors just pump out the ASP.NET <http://asp.net/>
2.0versions? :-)
Thanks for any help in advance!
