Your comment on [STRUCTURE] Ensure t...:


Rather than the negative "Do not take a least common denominator  
approach", this could be better phrased as "... to maximise usability" or 

something similar. It needs to be clear that while thispractise does  
authorise sending enhanced content to users who are clearly able to make  
use of it, it does not authorise breaking the "one web" principle and  
simply ignoring users (provided they have at least a "baseline-capable"  
device).

Working Group Resolution:
Under what it means, it says:



"While encouraging content providers to be sensitive to the needs of the
default delivery context, it is not intended that this results in a
diminished experience on more capable devices. Specifically it is not the
intention to encourage the development of sites that target the default
delivery context when a better user experience could be attained on more
capable devices."



which makes it clear that baseline devices should not be forgotten.
