>>>> VALID MARK_UP 
>>>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK-basic10-tests/#CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT>
>>>>
>>>> *Interpretation of the Best Practice*
>>>>
>>>> The mobileOK test will ensure that markup is valid, however, it does 
>>>> not ensure that markup elements are used correctly, in terms of the 
>>>> semantics of the document, as opposed to being used to achieve 
>>>> presentational effects.
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>>     * Verify that headers are properly nested according to their level.
>>>>     * Verify that |<list>| elements are used to represent lists
>>>>       (ordered, unordered, or definition lists) and are not used for
>>>>       formatting effects.
>>>>     * Verify that |<header>| elements are used to represent headers
>>>>       and are not used for formatting effects.
>>>>     * Verify that all information, which is visually is shown as a
>>>>       group of related elements, uses the |<list>| element in the
>>>>       markup to provide that structure.
>>>>     * Verify that all information, which is visually is shown as a
>>>>       block of text, uses paragraph or <|blockquote>| elements in the
>>>>       markup rather than, for example, |<div>| elements containing
>>>>       multiple line breaks.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.26 Style Sheets Size
>>>>       <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#STYLE_SHEETS_SIZE>
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>>     * Verify that style sheets do not contain more than 25% white 
>>>> space.
>>>>     * Verify that all style rules are used somewhere in the Web site.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.27 Tab Order <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#TAB_ORDER>
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>> Verify that the tab order of links, form controls and objects 
>>>> follows a logical or thematic order.
>>>>
>>>> *Examples*
>>>>
>>>>     * If a user is required to enter their first name, last name,
>>>>       address and contact number, the tab order should not jump, for
>>>>       example, between the first name and the phone number and then
>>>>       back to the last name.
>>>>     * If a pizza ordering service offers a choice of toppings and
>>>>       bases, the tab order should not jump between those two
>>>>       categories when presenting the user with options.
>>>>     * If the Submit button, or Submit and Cancel buttons, are not the
>>>>       last item(s) in the form.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.28 Tables Layout 
>>>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#TABLES_LAYOUT>
>>>>
>>>> *Relevant Delivery Context Capabilities*
>>>>
>>>> Table support
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>> Verify that tables used solely for layout cannot be replaced by use 
>>>> of CSS.
>>>>
>>>> *Examples*
>>>>
>>>> An image or text which is spaced and positioned with the aid of a 
>>>> table is not acceptable.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.29 Tables Support 
>>>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#TABLES_SUPPORT>
>>>>
>>>> *Relevant Delivery Context Capabilities*
>>>>
>>>> Table support
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>> Verify that the |<table>| element is not found within the source 
>>>> code if the device does not support tables.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.30 URIs <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#URIS>
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>>     * Verify that the entry Domain, including main and subdomain, can
>>>>       be called up with less than 20 multi-tap key presses on the 
>>>> device.
>>>>     * Ensure that the entry URI does not require a file extension as
>>>>       in .html Ensure that the entry URI does not require the www
>>>>       subdomain.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>       3.31 Use of Color <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#USE_OF_COLOR>
>>>>
>>>> *Evaluation Procedure*
>>>>
>>>>     * Verify that , excluding hyperlinks, the page does not include
>>>>       any other blue or purple text.
>>>>     * Check if, when viewed on a monochrome screen, all content is
>>>>       still readable.
>>>>     * Verify that color is not used to represent information.
>>>>
>>>> *Examples*
>>>>
>>>>     * Red text may be used to convey error messages but the fact that
>>>>       it is an error message should be clear without color.
>>>>     * Telling the user that important information is highlighted in
>>>>       yellow is unacceptable.
