Per ACTION-634, I'm supposed to write a note to include in our guidelines to warn the readers that most of the guidelines are not compatible with WAP1 gateways as they would fail to transform WML to WMLC when they encounter a HTTP Cache-Control: no-transform header. Here is my proposal: ----- Warning: Incompatibility with WAP1 gateways This document recommends the use of the Cache-Control: no-transform HTTP header by the origin server, with a view to controlling the content transformation proxy and in particular to preventing any kind of content transformation. The Cache-Control: no-transform directive applies to all the intermediaries between the origin server and the user agent. In particular, WAP1 gateways would obey the directive and would fail to compile WML into WMLC. Failure to do so would break the content delivery to the user agent. As a consequence, these guidelines cannot be used to deliver content through WAP1 gateways. ----- It could go in the "2.2 Objectives" section formatted as a note with a different background color. Or maybe at some other place, it certainly doesn't have to be the first thing readers see. François.
