The document _about_ the mobile web is _presented_ on the regular web.

Although good practices for the regular web may be irrelevent to the
_content_ of the document, they are certainly relevant to the
_presentation_ of the document.

Not bothering to understand and follow good practices for the regular
web in the presentation of that document certainly does not instill
confidence in the content.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you're referring to common
practices that I'd argue aren't good practices (e.g., pages or
text documents that have widths tied to fixed-width elements).
