Call for Review: W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0 is a Proposed
Recommendation

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has published the
Proposed Recommendation of "W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0." This
document defines the set of machine-verifiable tests that provide
the basis for making a claim of W3C mobileOK Basic conformance and
is based on "W3C Mobile Web Best Practices." Content which passes
the tests has taken some steps to provide a functional user
experience for users of basic mobile devices whose capabilities at
least match those of the Default Delivery Context. Comments are
welcome through 1 December 2008. Learn more about the Mobile Web
Initiative.

Interfaces Incubator Group, sponsored by W3C Members Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, JustSystems,
Siemens, Telefónica de España, and Université Catholique de Louvain.
