FDD/TDD: WiMAX and LTE Crossing Paths?

WiMax.com - At the ITU show in Geneva last week, there was a lot of talk on IMT-advanced technologies as expected. At this point, both WiMAX and LTE are obvious candidates for inclusion.
The timing is still uncertain, but inclusion in IMT-advanced seems to be uncontroversial for both technologies. What is interesting, however, is that the issue around duplexing is somewhat breaking down - with WiMAX using TDD (time division duplex) and LTE using FDD (frequency division duplex).
