We're talking about a BP for the Mobile Web Application Best Practices (MWABP) draft. There is no DDC in MWABP. See section 1.3.4: http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20090101#d1e256 The goal of these additional best practices is to exploit devices capabilities when you know about them. For instance, many of the best practices only apply when the mobile device has support for scripting, and thus do not target DDC-like devices.
