Issue
-------


Would be nice to have examples what activities are computationally
intensive - this could help content providers to avoid them, if
possible, and potentially lead to more BPs

> Some activities associated with rendering web pages are computationally
intensive.

One of the things that have been mentioned in a paper presented at the
MWI workshop in Barcelona was actually invalid markup, so maybe that\'s a
good example

> The very fact that advanced browsers allow greater mark-up flexibility
unfortunately reduced the amount of care taken to assure standards compliance
and led to a broader use of sloppy mark-up – but unlike to desktop browsing this
has quite severe consequences for users of devices with radically limited
resources: rendering non-deterministic mark-up has a very real impact on CPU,
memory and battery life, and also mostly leads to unwanted and costly data
overhead on the radio transmission – for customers and operators all alike.




Suggested rewrite
------------------

Some activities associated with rendering web pages (e.g. parsing and
displaying invalid markup) are computationally intensive.
