1 Introduction

Web access from mobile devices suffers from problems that make the  
Web unattractive for most mobile users. W3C's Mobile Web Initiative  
(MWI) proposes to address these issues through a concerted effort of  
key players in the mobile value chain, including authoring tool  
vendors, content providers, handset manufacturers, browser vendors  
and mobile operators.

The objective of the W3C Mobile Web Initiative is to enable access to  
the Web from mobile devices. It is recognized that this will  
generally require adaptation of web content and therefore an  
understanding of the different characteristics, features, behaviors  
and limitations of mobile handsets.

Within the MWI, the mission of the Device Description Working Group  
(DDWG) is to foster the provision of, and access to, these consistent  
and reliable, Device Descriptions that can be used to help develop  
and deliver high-quality mobile web applications to the world's  
mobile devices.

Editorial:

The introduction of a specification is used to give context about the  
technology itself and not that much about the group which has done  
it. We suggest to remove everything which is related to Mobile Web  
Initiative and or Device Descriptiong Working Group when not related  
to the technology itself. Many things in this section seems to belong  
to the Status section, more than an introduction.

The whole document seems a bit strange, as it looks like more a white  
paper than a usual W3C Note.
