Browser selector
FYI,
It looks like you do
"User-Agent:" contains "Nokia"
to trigger the WAP browser type in the BrowserSelector in the default sitemap.
This is not a good idea, unfortunately, as Nokia 9000 series is HTML capable,
and has the "Nokia" word in the "User-Agent" header, effectively returning
the wrong content.
In case of Nokia, one should look at the "Accepts:" header and look for "wml"
instead, but not sure about other phones and PDAs.

Well, I know that, but it is "labeled" as "WAP" which is "content", and not
"browser" as well.

Sure I can get it to work, but I am just recommending a change, as most people
wouldn't think of the Nokia 9000 being a HTML browser (I have the exact same
problem in my JServ hack, and took ~2 years after WAP/WML launch to be
reported).

It's a browser selector, not an accepts-selector ;-)
I guess, the User-Agent header of Nokia 9000 has any specific part, so
you can change the browser selector string to your needs. We for example
use it to differ between different versions of Mozilla.
