As Bertrand suggested, please allow me to rephrase the question. It's not necessarily about 2 or 3 Java clients (some may be W3C compliant, others not) but the question, if DeviceMap wants to offer at least one W3C DDR standard implementation for languages and platforms where this is justified.
W3C itself offered support for at least Java, PHP, see http://www.w3.org/2009/11/mobileOKPythia/ddr.html and (according to that page) also other languages like Perl or C#. One W3C DDR member MobileAware (they mostly do consulting and development for Mobile solutions nowadays, while not offering device detection as such it must clearly be used by their solutions under the hood) published this description of their MIS implementation: http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/DDWG/drafts/api/MIS-DDRSimpleAPI/slide10.jpg "is fully compatible with other compliant implementations" meaning where a vendor like MobileAware, DeviceAtlas, MaDDR,... may shift their focus today or (like WURFL;-) ask too much money for certain customers, they can easily switch to DeviceMap and increase the user base which logically will increase contributions of new device signatures or even full committers, too.
