Hi Lars,

I can't see what difference it makes - if someone chooses to create a
mobile-device-friendly version of their site and publish it under a separate
URL (as opposed to the elegant way - that is, using a mobile-device-friendly
stylesheet) then that is probably their business. We may laugh at them, but
the average user will probably appreciate a positive match to a "show me
restaurants in Timbuktu with iPhone-friendly sites" search.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Best regards, Andrew
