I doubt we should go beyond that. As Jo stated, this is the content delivered to the DDC, content providers should take advantage of device capabilities (on which I would add knowledge that the user has a flat rate for instance) whenever possible. Note that these limits already appear in Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0, which is about to be transitioned to Recommendation, so there is no real way we can change these values now: http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#iddiv3126702920 > > A 2nd item is the following: If we set up a dediacted mobile ok user agent string the site owners could return/deliver complete different content based on the user agent. And than they are counted as mobile OK?! That's precisely the idea! The content providers should take advantage of the capabilities of devices whenever possible! And it indeed has the following not-so-good consequence: a content provider may return a mostly empty page upon receipt of a request that contains the mobileOK User-Agent string, and be mobileOK.
