Re: MobileOK comments

 Dear Jon Ribbens ,

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has reviewed the comments you
sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the W3C mobileOK Basic
Tests 1.0 (2nd Last Call) published on 25 May 2007. Thank you for having
taken the time to review the document and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below, and has
been implemented in the new version of the document available at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-mobileOK-basic10-tests-20070928/.

Please review it carefully and let us know if you agree with it or not
before 19 October 2007. In case of disagreement, you are requested to
provide a specific solution for or a path to a consensus with the Working
Group. If such a consensus cannot be achieved, you will be given the
opportunity to raise a formal objection which will then be reviewed by the
Director during the transition of this document to the next stage in the
W3C Recommendation Track.

Thanks,

For the Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group,

Working Group Resolution:
That is a typo, thanks for pointing it out.

Working Group Resolution:
'URI specified in the content attribute' should not be read to imply it is
the sole content of the attribute. We will clarify along the lines of 'If
the URI specified as part of  the content attribute is not the current
resource's URI...'

Working Group Resolution:
Reworded to work around this.
