The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced the advancement of the Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 to Candidate Recommendation.


Of great importance is that these are the guidelines that are going to be used to enforce .mobi mobile website's behavior.

From the W3C website: 

"Written for designers of Web sites and content management systems,
these guidelines describe how to author Web content that works well
on mobile devices. Thirty organizations participating in the Mobile
Web Initiative achieved consensus and encourage adoption and
implementation of these guidelines to improve user experience and to
achieve the goal of "One Web."

Later on I will post my observations on these Mobile Web Best Practices… But I can tell you my first impressions: I quickly eye-balled the guidelines, and these are very subjective… This is a problem if used to enforce .mobi behavior, as it will be up to someone's interpretation of what is right vs. wrong, and that is of concern…
