That's a timing issue (it is too late to change this particular Best
Practices spec), but eventually something like that should happen, yes.
The plan is that one of the WICD specs will define a combination of
XHTML Basic, HTTP, JPEG, SVG Tiny, PNG and CSS Mobile for mobile
phones.

We don't have all of CSS formatted as a single document. Some parts of
CSS are standard, others are in various stages of development. To know
what is or will be in CSS, you will have to look on
http://www.w3.org/TR for all CSS-related specifications.

It is basically the common parts of W3C's previous Mobile Profile and
OMA's CSS profile ("WCSS"). The goal is to replace both of these by a
single W3C/OMA profile.
Some time after that we will probably start developing the next version
of the profile, which will contain more features and which can replace
this profile in a few years.
