RE: ACTION-593 Write a summary of preliminary work to be done for this working group to focus on Best Practices for Web applications

Hi Kai,
The target device types for BP2 should be those which need our attention
to recommendations related to specific constraints. If that's understood
through the device properties e.g. exposed in a DDR, I guess that's one
way that a device "says what it is". Given the BP charter to work only
with existing technology/practices, I don't see a good way for the
device to "say what it is" directly (other than user-agent masquerading,
which would be saying "what I want you to think I am"), if that's what
you meant.

Best regards,
Bryan Sullivan | AT&T

Hi Bryan,

For clarification,
"determine which type of device we are writing the BP 2.0 document for
(what are our expections in its capabilities?)"
was in reference to the ADC.

Also, as a side note, there is a lingering question as to what /*is*/ a
mobile device.
While most would agree that a laptop is not and a PDA is, I think we
left off at saying that the device should say what it is, which in turn
might be influenced by user choice.
