[css-mobile] "Last call" for CSS Mobile Profile 2.0

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.)



For the CSS WG,
Bert
