ISSUE-286 (SeanP): Transformation of Mobile Content/Mandating some respect of some heuristics [Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies]

http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/286

Raised by: Sean Patterson
On product: Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies

This is a summary of the mailing list discussion of issue of transformation of mobile content.  I'm basically including the relevant emails since apparently they were missed by several people due to a misleading title and the fact they appeared on the CT list right as we were switching over to the main BPWG list.

The issue was originally raised by Dom on 26 Nov. 2008 in the post titled "Mandating respect of some heuristics":

Some followups were posted by Rotan, Eduardo, Francois, and Tom.  (Although in later posts the discussion concentrated on WML content.)

The first discussion of the issue in a teleconference was on 6 Jan. 2009:

Sean made some additional proposals on how to handle transformation of mobile content in this post:

At this point the discussion was moved to the main BPWG list with posts by Sean, Eduardo and Luca:

This sums up the current mailing list activity on this subject.

Okay; the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.  Discuss!
