Not quite, WAP evolved into WAP 2.0 and WML was replaced with xHTML. For a long period of time WAP 2.0 was the only standard while mobile development evolved. Even as HTML support grew in the mobile space, there was a very solid duration of time where WAP 2.0 was the most supported across the majority of devices and browsers (in the mobile space). And FWIW, I wouldn’t consider WML a flop, because that was the only mobile standard supported on most phones before the iPhone.
