Looking to the R-UIM 3GPP2 specification (C.S0023), we can understand 
indeed that R-UIM can be considered as an extension of SIM.
In practice, we can retrieve the same information as for SIM, based 
obviously on different file ids (Emergency codes, preferred language, 
service table, etc...)

So far, we could imagine to extend the SIM atom to support also R-UIM 
architecture but what could be the purpose of this extension?
Here, the UIM atom is introduced originally to collect a subscriber 
identifier (MIN or True IMSI) in order to identify uniquely the 
cdma-connman interface.
But you seems to look for a more global solution. Are we looking to 
support also cdma for voice? cdma for card application tool kit?

Now, if we just need to collect this CDMA subscriber identifier, I think 
also excessive to introduce a specific atom for that.

Philippe.
