Hello chairs, The CSS WG decided that the CSS Mobile Profile, written in collaboration with CDF and OMA, is now ready for "last call." I will request a publication slot from the webmaster within a few days. We would like to ask specifically the CDF, SVG, HTML, WAI PF, WebAPI and WAF WGs for their review. The deadline for comments would be four weeks after publication, which takes us to around Nov 13, i.e., right after TPAC. Is that OK with everybody? The current, internal version and the latest public versions are: http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/css3-src/css-mobile http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-css-mobile-20061208 (Sorry, HTML WG, you can't see first of these yet.) Quoting from the document: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract This specification defines in general a subset of CSS 2.1 [CSS21] that is to be considered a baseline for interoperability between implementations of CSS on constrained devices (e.g. mobile phones). Its intent is not to produce a profile of CSS incompatible with the complete specification, but rather to ensure that implementations that due to platform limitations cannot support the entire specification implement a common subset that is interoperable not only amongst constrained implementations but also with complete ones. Additionally, this specification aligns itself as much as possible with the OMA's Wireless CSS 1.1 [WCSS11] specification. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The "as much as possible" in the last line means in practice that WCSS1.1 is equivalent to the CSS Mobile Profile + WICD1 Mobile, because WCSS1.1 requires support for the XML Style Sheet PI, while in the W3C version that requirement is part of the WICD spec, not the CSS one. Also noteworthy is that the Mobile Profile can't become CR at this moment, because it depends on "marquee" properties in the CSS Box Module, which is still in WD. (We'll do our best to make that LC, too.)
