so my obvious question here is, what kind of x-sms-agent type
applications do you expect? The need for text, vcard, vcalendar and push
messages is pretty clear. I still haven't figured out what other
applications are out there that we want do support with this. Can you
please give us some concert examples. I think that everybody else has
abandoned any other SMS message types.
