While I am already personally supportive of talking about best practices in push, for what that is worth -- On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 4:46 PM, Sullivan, Bryan <BS3131@att.com> wrote: > The basic question is whether W3C wants to view the "Mobile Web" with > glasses polarized to filter out anything that is not widely deployed on > desktop browsers, as the definition of "web" to be inherited as the > "Mobile Web".

I don't see a need to cast this as some kind of fight against prejudice and blinkered world views. Bryan you cannot say WAP push is widely used, it simply isn't, compared to HTTP + XHTML + CSS. Nobody is disputing this is quite specific to mobile. On those grounds one could legitimately challenge whether this should be touted as a "best practice" by an organization like the W3C. It is not at the top of my list, but I think people everyone's quite open to entertaining this if you feel it is a best practice. Please let's move forward and prove you're right by writing down what those best practices are.
