Yes, a decision has already been taken on it.
Just interesting to note that this is indeed
considered a good practice whenever you can
apply it.

A few of the more general guidelines seem to 
include points that are mobile-orientated. As
far as the levels of detail are concerned, I
presume they must have been dealt with long
ago.

Whatever the situation, it is important to 
remember that
1) Size does matter; bulky resources often
have unexpected, detrimental consequences in
mobile -- whether it is caching in iPhone,
page size limits in other devices, or impacts
on protocol performance.
2) The relevance of the issue depends on the
proportion of early vs. late iPhone releases in the field, and whether the limit has
disappeared, or only changed upwards.
