RE: [mobile-bp] Comment on style sheet tests

Thank you very much for your comment. The BPWG resolved to reword the test
as it can be misinterpreted, to "Check that the elements in a style sheet
are used in at least one of the pages that reference it"

Our understanding is that compression is not widely implemented on mobile
devices.

Jo
