And it should appear as a link when a page gets a valid "mobileOK Basic"
report. Something like saying: "Ok, you have done the basic tasks, but
you can go beyond"

After reading the explanatory text, specially this final part, I still
have some questions:
- If a page passes "mobileOK Basic 1.0 Tests", is it a "mobileOK" page?
- What do I need to do to get "mobileOK" logo in my page?

If these questions are not answered clearly, they could make the
addendum useless. If there is "only One mobileOK" and "mobileOK Basic
1.0 Tests" give developers the right to claim that content is mobileOK,
some developers could take the minimal steps to get the "mobileOK" logo
in their site. And, if "mobileOK Basic 1.0 Tests" are those "minimal
steps", those tests would be their only care. And we don't want that, do
we?

So, somehow, the addendum should be linked to "mobileOK Basic checker"
report, to make clear that there is "one more thing" to do after passing
the basic tests.

Another idea, if the author claims that the site is "mobileOK" it must
pass mobileOK Basic 1.0 tests and must indicate (using POWDER for
example?) which Best Practices covered by the addendum tests is
following. Ok, maybe it is too complex but passing the basic tests and
saying that none of the addendum tests are followed, you would get
"mobileOK" (same than now?) but pages that pass some of addendum tests
would be "more" mobileOK, and a "mobile search engine" could use this
index for results.

Some tests need values (as 30 links in BALANCE), but these values could
be relative (for me, 30 links in a mobile site when I am using a
smartphone are not as bad as using my simple mobile phone). So,
following previous idea, these limit values could be indicated somehow
in the POWDER description.

I would like to remember that sometime ago, some comments were made
about the tests themselves and it seems that none of that comments were
discussed or taken into consideration:

That's what I've tried...
