Are you aware of the W3C Web Integration Compound Document (WICD), and its mobile version, the WICD Mobile 1.0?
The
WICD Mobile 1.0 specification is going to be a very important piece moving forward for Mobile Web and mobile browsing, and in the convergence between rich-local clients and browser-based technologies.


The WICD Mobile profile is primarily designed to enable rich multimedia content on mobile handset devices. These are devices with:

  • small, narrow screens (approximately 2 to 4 inch, up to 30-40 characters per line)
  • 4- or 8-way joystick navigation (no pointing device)

The WICD Mobile specification defines (standardizes) the use of the following for Mobile Web:

  • XHTML Basic 1.1
  • ECMAScript 3rd Edition Compact Profile
  • CSS 2.1 Mobile Profile
  • SVG Tiny 1.2
  • Bitmap formats
  • Audio formats
  • Video formats
  • User Agent Identification
  • DOM Level 3
  • XMLHttpRequest
  • Focus Navigation Model
