#2: Section "1.3 Claiming mobileOK conformance"

There is an issue with POST parameters, which are not part of a URI. This is a general issue with content labelling, that could be solved with HTTP-in-RDF [3], but there's some doubt about whether POST requests are forbidden for mobile web content due to the requirement at section 2.3.2 "Use the HTTP GET method when making requests". Are POST requests forbidden for mobile web content?

WG Notes: We should perhaps in addition reconsider whether we require a GET on hyperlinks or whether we should specify a HEAD. We should also consider perhaps what values to supply it FORM GETs. Downgraded from substantive to question. Changed to editorial

Resolution: No, POST requests are not forbidden but we don't test them as they are not assumed to be "idempotent". We have clarified the document.
