W3C today announced new standards that will make it easier for people to browse the Web on mobile devices.
Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0, published as a W3C Recommendation by the
Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group, condenses the experience of many mobile Web stakeholders into practical advice on creating mobile-friendly content. These guidelines will help to improve the experience of people browsing the Web on a wide array of mobile handsets. W3C published a second standard today:
XHTML Basic 1.1 Recommendation, the preferred format specification of the Best Practices. With this, there is now a full convergence in mobile markup languages, including those developed by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). The Working Group also published today the first draft of a next generation of guidelines,
Mobile Web Application Best Practices, aimed at mobile Web applications. Read the
