[ga] Sir Berners-Lee on specific problems with .mobi

[Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a matter of record, I wish to make a point of this particular 
argument, and to let it stand in the archive of this body..,

Tim Berners-Lee writes:

"The Web must operate independently of the hardware, software or network 
used to access it, of the perceived quality or appropriateness of the 
information on it, and of the culture, and language, and physical 
capabilities of those who access it [WTW]. Hardware and network 
independence in particular have been crucial to the growth of the Web. 
In the past, network independence has been assured largely by the 
Internet architecture. The Internet connects all devices without regard 
to the type or size or band of device, nor with regard to the wireless 
or wired or optical infrastructure used. This is its great strength. 
From its inception, the Web built upon this architecture and introduced 
device independence at the user interface level. By separating the 
information content from its presentation (as is possible by mixing HTML 
with CSS, XML with XSL and CSS, etc.) the Web allows the same 
information to be viewed from computers with all sorts of screen sizes, 
color depths, and so on. Many of the original Web terminals were 
character-oriented, and now visually impaired users use text-oriented 
interfaces to the same information."
