SUGGESTION IS TO FOCUS ON WEB BEST PRACTICES AT ALL TIMES:
Referring to Andrew Maben's question/comments, namely: "How can we go about
making our mobile websites according to sound principles. Bearing in mind
that mobile browsers often lack the features we wish they had." -- I suggest
adherence to Web Best Practices regardless of the device(s) used, screen
sizes, features (or lack thereof), and so on as the dominating consideration
to be kept in mind at all times when designing Web sites/pages.
 
PROOF BY EXAMPLE:
I know that this approach works as I have implemented Scsi's Web Best
Practices throughout  the two URL addresses listed below. Check them out for
yourself, and please note that the tenth Web Best Practices is "Every
(Mobile) Web Page Validates ...."
 
Good luck!

All right. I will stop complaining about "designing for the iPhone" and try
to attack this from a positive angle.


I think "designing for the iPhone" is somewhat irrelevant, (but I'd agree
that iphone specific URLs are a scary throwback to the bad not-so-old days).
I have found that any thoughtfully designed - standards-compliant,
usable/accessible - site works just fine in the iphone.


How can we go about making our mobile websites according to sound
principles. Bearing in mind that mobile browsers often lack the features we
wish they had.


A much more productive line of enquiry...


Andrew
