Subject: Content Transformation Guidelines: Last Call Working Draft

Hello TAG, HTML WG, XHTML2 WG, WebApps WG, HCG Chairs, Bennett,

The W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has been developing a
set of guidelines for Content Transformation proxies (i.e. non
transparent HTTP proxies) to address some of the needs identified in
particular on mobile networks.

These guidelines have just been published as a Last Call Working Draft:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/


The Last Call review period extends until September 16, and we would be
grateful if your group could review the document, in particular:
 * for the TAG, since the document relates to its issue
genericResources-53 and its accompanying finding
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/alternatives-discovery (the BPWG will
send comments on that finding next week)
 * for the HTML and XHTML2 Working Groups, since the document makes use
of the (X)HTML link element to give hints on content transformation
proxies
 * for the WebApps Working Group, since the document has some provision
on specific behavior for XmlHTTPRequest type of requests (as highlighted
by one of our own comments on the XmlHTTPRequest spec:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapi/2008May/0064.html )
 * for the HyperText CG, as the official point of liaison with the Open
Mobile Alliance which might want to submit a review on the document
given its implications on the mobile ecosystem

(the Working Group is also requesting a review from the IETF HTTPBis
Working Group [1], and will do as well with targeted mobile web
developers communities which have been vocal on that topic).

If your group wants to submit a review but is unable to provide it in
that timeframe, please let us know so that we can determine a possible
extension of the review period.

Thanks,

Dominique Hazael-Massieux, Staff Contact of the Mobile Web Best
Practices Working Group
