Not one of my better crafted sentences, I guess.

Current Text: 

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to help content providers conform to Mobile Web Best Practices, by providing additional evaluations for their content and by interpreting and clarifying Best Practices in some cases.

Mobile Web Best Practices contains sections against each best practice called "What to Test". The evaluationsin this document supplement those tests.

Proposed Revision:

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to help content providers conform to Mobile Web Best Practices, by interpreting and clarifying some of the Best Practice statements and by providing additional evaluations which supplement the "What to test" sections of Best Practice statements.
