I'm not aware of any current muds that support WAP, although there
probably is some form of a telnet program for palm pilots.  There are
audio dictation utilities available for blind people... but I agree,
any new standard you try to implement must be able to address
usability.  The best way to do this imho is to give plenty of room for
extension.  The xml protocol that I'm evisioning definitely allows for
that.
