Hi Bryan

Thanks for summarising your view again, a couple of comments in line

I believe that these are significantly mobile concerns - I don't disagree that they have general relevance.

It affects the nature of the devices and the UI/UX provided by them, the plurality of user-agents and app development/deployment approaches (e.g. browser, widgets, hybrid, online/offline), resource/performance issues, etc. These are aspects that affect a large part of what users experience as the Web (or more generally internet-based services) since more users are experiencing the web on mobile/nomadic devices.

Addressing the gaps or unclarity in CoreMob 2012, and continuing to identify key gaps (CoreMob 2013 and beyond) and initiate work to close them, is one of our continuing goals for CoreMob. CoreMob 2012 is not done; we now have to live with it, as it represents part of our legacy and the reputation of W3C (Was it a worthwhile exercise? Was it precise/accurate enough? Did it have real effect? Was it worthwhile if limited to a one-off exercise?). W3C needs to ensure adequate follow-thru on work, and IMO the follow-thru on CoreMob 2012 is just beginning.
I don't disagree that B) and C) could be taken together.

To my way of thinking this is a central agenda for an ongoing coremob.
