>
> Hello chairs,
>
> The CSS WG decided that the CSS Mobile Profile, written in collaboration
> with CDF and OMA, is now ready for "last call." I will request a
> publication slot from the webmaster within a few days.
>
> We would like to ask specifically the CDF, SVG, HTML, WAI PF, WebAPI and
> WAF WGs for their review.
>
> The deadline for comments would be four weeks after publication, which
> takes us to around Nov 13, i.e., right after TPAC. Is that OK with
> everybody?
>
> The current, internal version and the latest public versions are:

> http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/css3-src/css-mobile
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-css-mobile-20061208
>
> (Sorry, HTML WG, you can't see first of these yet.)

> Quoting from the document:
>
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Abstract
>
> This specification defines in general a subset of CSS 2.1 [CSS21] that
> is to be considered a baseline for interoperability between
> implementations of CSS on constrained devices (e.g. mobile phones). Its
> intent is not to produce a profile of CSS incompatible with the
> complete specification, but rather to ensure that implementations that
> due to platform limitations cannot support the entire specification
> implement a common subset that is interoperable not only amongst
> constrained implementations but also with complete ones. Additionally,
> this specification aligns itself as much as possible with the OMA's
> Wireless CSS 1.1 [WCSS11] specification.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> The "as much as possible" in the last line means in practice that
> WCSS1.1 is equivalent to the CSS Mobile Profile + WICD1 Mobile, because
> WCSS1.1 requires support for the XML Style Sheet PI, while in the W3C
> version that requirement is part of the WICD spec, not the CSS one.
>
> Also noteworthy is that the Mobile Profile can't become CR at this
> moment, because it depends on "marquee" properties in the CSS Box
> Module, which is still in WD. (We'll do our best to make that LC, too.)
