Re: Best Practices document - not best practices

Hi,

the use of two different urls gives to the user the choiche for choose 
the version that is much closer to his needs.

I think that this kind of selection has a positive effect on user 
experience (sorry if you have already discussed about this idea, but 
I've started reading the list only during last days...) and I think also 
that has to be mainteined someway.

This involves adaptation: we can detect distribution context [1], but 
how many and which degrees of freedom we have to preserve for our user? 
And at what level (website, page, element, style)? What are your opinions?

Best regards,
Andrea

Many site designers seem to equate "mobile" to "text only" and rich media is really a trade off between screen estate, time to load and content.  I am not clear that "one size fits all users" will really work for this.
