Re: From Raymond Sonoff --- "RE: Last Call on mobileOK Basic Tests [deadline extended!]"

 Dear Raymond Sonoff ,

The Mobile Web Best Practice Working Group has reviewed the comments you
sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the W3C mobileOK Basic
Tests 1.0 published on 30 Jan 2007. Thank you for having taken the time to
review the document and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below, and has
been implemented in the new version of the document available at:
http://www.w3.org/TR /2007/WD-mobileOK-basic10-tests-20070525/

Please review it carefully and let us know if you agree with it or not
before 22 June 2007. In case of disagreement, you are requested to provide
a specific solution for or a path to a consensus with the Working Group. If
such a consensus cannot be achieved, you will be given the opportunity to
raise a formal objection which will then be reviewed by the Director
during the transition of this document to the next stage in the W3C
Recommendation Track.

Thanks,

For the Mobile Web Best Practice Working Group,
Michael(tm) Smith

Working Group Resolution:
We do not specify that content which is linked to from a mobileOK page
must, in it self, be also mobileOK. It merely states that if the content
that is delivered from such a URI is /*not*/ of the media type the device
has announced as being able to handle, then you should warn with this
test.
