comments on Working Draft of mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0

Hello,

My comments:

"3.4 CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT  and VALID_MARKUP

...If (regardless of its stated DOCTYPE) the document does not validate
against the XHTML Basic 1.1 DTD:

If it does not validate against the XHTML-MP 1.2 DTD, FAIL"

Comment:
This does not allow for valid HTML documents. In HTML end tags for elements
declared EMPTY is forbidden, while XHTML requires end tags for all elements.

"3.11 MEASURES

For each property in the CSS Style (2.3.5 CSS Style) whose value is a
numeric measure of length stated together with a unit:

If the value is non-zero and the unit is not "em" or "ex", and the property
is not a margin, border or padding box property, FAIL

PASS"

Comment:
What about specifying the width and height of images with intristic pixel
size?

"3.12 MINIMIZE

Count number of white space characters in a sequence of more than one white
space character (not counting the first), which exist outside of a pre,
style, script element, or XML comment

Add to this count the number of characters comprising XML comments. This
total is the number of extraneous characters in the document."

Comment:
Why are script and style comments and extra spaces within a script or a
stylesheet are not added to the count?

"3.15 OBJECTS_OR_SCRIPT  (partial)
...
If an object element is present and has no object element ancestor,

If the innermost nested object element is empty, warn

If the innermost nested object element content consists only of white space,
FAIL..."

Comment:
Rather than "the innermost nested object" it is simpler to state "an
object".
