The current proposal is: "Transcoding servers and intelligent user agents can be more flexible in their presentation of content to the user. Benefits include such things as letting the user adjust whether they want to allow, block, or be asked how to handle pop-ups; notifying the user when a page transition makes significant changes to the page layout; identifying links that will pop up a new window or go to a different site; etc." How about "web services and user agents" or "web services and clients" or "web services and browsers" instead of "Transcoding servers and intelligent user agents." Roberto Scano: I suggest to mantain transcoding servers and also "user agents". For "user agents" there is a definition (also from UAAG 1.0) and we can add a definition for "Transcoding servers" like this one (http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/gDefinition/0,294236,sid26_gci5 15589,00.html) "Transcoding is a technology used to adapt computer application displays and Web content so that they can be viewed on any of the increasing number of diverse devices on the market. Transcoding servers and services reformat material that would otherwise have to be developed separately for display on different platforms. Working like an interpreter, the technology translates content to suitable formats for various platforms, regardless of protocol, application, screen size, and language used."
