... bits[*]
In the world of atoms many attempts have been made at creating just such an ``Esperanto.'' For example Antido, Arulo, Basic English, Europan, Idiom Neutral, Ido, Interlingua, Nov-Esperanto, Ro, Volapuk,...All have failed. Popular adoption seems to dictate what the actual ``Esperanto'' is, and currently it looks to be English. Similarly, in the world of bits popular adoption seems to point towards WSDL.

... support[*]
From this point on we will refer to the ``inheritance'' present in GAT and an inheritance with language support with the same term, inheritance. In addition we will refer to the various related terms ``object,'' ``superclass,'' ``subclass,''...in GAT with the terms object, superclass, subclass,...with language support. No confusion should result from these slight abuses of terminology.

As there are so many weird phones these days, I wouldn't bet my life on this last statement. For example, I know there exist wrist watch phones that transmit sound through the wearer's bones and are answered and hung-up by momentarily placing one's thumb and forefinger together.
