Hi, We've talked about best practices 5 and 6 last week: - Inform the User About Automatic Network Access: http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/#bp-inform-automation - Provide Sufficient Means to Control Automatic Network Access http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/#bp-inform-network We don't have any implementation report. Eduardo suggested we tried to remember what had motivated these best practices initially. I had a look but could not find much (on top of "we think it's useful", that is): - they have always been there one way or another, starting with the very first draft: http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20080206/#iddiv2126636936 - they have been discussed within the group on different occasions, because they were felt to be too vague and/or because they seemed to recommend something that would best be at the browser's UI implementation level. See for instance ISSUE-277 raised by Adam: http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/277 ... and comments from Robin Berjon on the last call: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-comments/2009OctDec/0064.html The text was word-smithed as a consequence. - the questions raised during the discussion were more "how to formulate what we mean?" than "are these BPs useful?". As a reminder, we resolved last week to remove these best practices — actually to demote them to strong advisory notes — from the specification and re-publish the resulting document in last call, unless we manage to find implementation by tomorrow. Francois.
