Re: Comments on Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 (17 October)

Hi David -- Just wanted to say a belated "thank you" for these 
comments on our public draft. We discussed your comments in detail 
at our recently held face to face meeting and made some changes to 
the document accordingly.  Some items that stood out:

Removing the word "players."

Clarifying our use of the word "server."

Clarifying the relationship of this document to specific DI 
documents.

Clarifying the explanation of the organization of the doc.

Re-titling section 3.4 (Content Type) to user goals (2.4 in the 
new document structure).

Regarding use of access keys, there was strong believe and 
consensus within the group that their use enhanced usability in 
specific circumstances. We have therefore sought to clarify these 
circumstances.

Regarding background images, the group felt that given the 
bandwidth issues inherent on mobile phones, there was good enough 
reason to recommend not to use them unless the author was sure 
that the device supports them.

Your comments were also helpful to our discussion of the so-called 
"base-line device" (now renamed "default rendering context").

I think you will find these issues adaquately addressed in our 
next public working draft, to be issued shortly.

Regards,
Daniel Appelquist
MWBP Chair
