I think that's an interesting point, but the way it's phrased
doesn't help me track the status of it as well as I'd like.

In stead of "The tests warn for things..." could you pick one
or two specific bits of text from the mobileOK tests document
that you disagree with?

Also, could you attach or point to a text/example document, perhaps
from your existing research [1] that exemplifies the problem?

There's a mobile best practices checker.
  http://validator.w3.org/mobile/

I presume it's in sync with the mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0,
except for bugs. So a document where you disagree
with the output of the checker will probably help make
your point clear.

Oh... and would you please do this in a new thread?
