The document _about_ the mobile web is _presented_ on the regular web. Although good practices for the regular web may be irrelevent to the _content_ of the document, they are certainly relevant to the _presentation_ of the document. Not bothering to understand and follow good practices for the regular web in the presentation of that document certainly does not instill confidence in the content. > In fact, best practices for the regular > web can greatly interfere with the experience on the mobile web. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you're referring to common practices that I'd argue aren't good practices (e.g., pages or text documents that have widths tied to fixed-width elements). Daniel
