- Description:
- In response to coments on the public list, and Kai and Andrea\'s responses (and
continuing discussion on the private list):
Insert a section at 1.3.3.1 One Web
The recommendations in this document are intended to improve mobile experience
of the Web on mobile devices. While the recommendations in this document are not
specifically addressed at the desktop browsing experience it must be understood
that they are made in the context of wishing to work towards \'One Web\'.
As discussed in [Scope] One Web means making, as far as is reasonable, the same
information and services available to users irrespective of the device they are
using. However it does not mean that exactly the same information is available
in exactly the same way across all devices. Some services and information are
more suitable for and targetted at particular user contexts.
Some services have a primarily mobile appeal (location based services, for
example). Some have a primarily mobile appeal but have a complementary desktop
aspect (perhaps for complex configuration tasks). Still others have a primarily
desktop appeal but a complementary mobile aspect (possibly for alerting).
Finally there will remain some Web applications which have a primarily desktop
appeal (lengthy reference material, rich images, perhaps).
It is likley that application designers and service providers will wish to
provide the best possible experience in the context in which their service has
the most appeal. However, while services may be most appropriately experienced
in one context or another, it is considered best practice to provide a
reasonable experience irrespective of the device, and as far as is possible, not
to exclude access from any particular class of devices.
From the perspective of this document this means that services should be offered
as some variant of HTML over http. - Related Actions Items:
