I got number 11 wrong. I did way better than I thought I would, fun quiz.
So, if you go to the international standards organization, your question 11 has two correct answers both simple and short. The reason for changing the original standard, SMS to simple was the addition of the RSS protocols. IE, really simple syndication, includes SMS functionality.
