Description:

Hello all,

The feedback below, from Barbara Ballard, is not the first time that we
have received it.

\"3.2 I\'m unaware of any phone with web capabilities that does not have
Back button capabilities, even if it is mapped to a Clear key. I also
think that URL input is not particularly relevant.\"

I am focussing on the issue with the back button.

I have deferred to the opinion of others in the group, that there are
devices out there that don\'t have back buttons or, as Barbara points
out, a clear button. Myself, I don\'t know any devices that are lacking
this function either.


So, is it an issue or not?
Would it make sense to lighten this part of the document by removing
references to the back button?

Regards,
Kai
