now, this suggest that the gateway point of the architecture is able to
filterout certain HTTP headers while proxy'ing requests to the application
layer, right?

In the example you draw regardin the 'Server' header that is returned by a HTTP
server while processing WAP requests, this is indeed not of a high relevance for
the client itself, so we could ommit it to reduce size of the resulting WSP data
pushed to the client. Agree here.

Can you point out what the issue with the "extention of 1 to 2 SMS"  means in
this sense? I didn't get the point here?
