Fearghas has pointed out a valid issue and before I wrote my comments, I
knew the Mobile factor would come into the equation.
The Mobile platform after careful research and with comments emerging
from W3C is to conclude that the Mobile environment is a completely
different standard and services need to be developed, solely dedicated
for Mobile user audience.
The factors steam from not only delivery using and authoring in wml as
opposed to Xhtml, Html etc, but in respect of revenue streams from
advertiser agency programmes and scripting.
It is possible to author to meet both web and mobile user. We achieved
this when we were developing in conjunction with Google on the Beta
search service for Mobile users. But in relation to delivery of
advertising or dynamic rich media content presentation it would only
provide a very poor compromise.
The Mobile community is completely different, the same as the early
development of web TV, I was on with Wally May at Microsoft, you can't
marry all together successfully. I believe greater achievement and
respect will come from Broadcasters and publishers who offer services
dedicated to these devices. Greater resources would be required to
develop and publish content across more environments, but that is the
price to pay.
Excuse my humble example in respect of The PC Web and The Mobile Web,
but it's like buying a rally car and entering it into an F1 Grand Prix.
They are both vehicles but in totally different classes.

The BBC needs to build 800 x 600 to ensure a starting point for cross
platform compatibility. Especially in relation to the little people
and our more senior members of the community who we must not forget
who suffer from sight.
I would suggest that with the recent appearance of cheap ultra mobile
devices that 800x480 would be a more suitable minimum screen size.
