For clarification, I now understand what confused at first: it's the use of "adaptation" for something done by the client, which my brain translates as "rendering". The use of "adaptation" is perfectly fine, and matches the definition given in the Mobile Web Best Practices: http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#d0e402 So all is good! :-) Francois.
