 Dear Erik Wilde ,

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has reviewed the comments you
sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the Mobile Web Application
Best Practices published on 13 Jul 2010. 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/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/latest.

Please review it carefully and let us know by email at
public-bpwg-comments@w3.org if you agree with it or not before 14 September
2010 (if possible, simply tell us if you need more time). 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
