I didn't want to open the request before talk to you and discuss this. There are two options here:
A) support a fallback style Maybe a setFallbackStyle in the Session class, together with the style property. Then ResourceStreamLocator would check for this in the iterator loop to check for resources with the fallback style. B) add a new resource locator schema Keep the style the way it is, adding a new option: This way, nothing regardling the style feature would have to be changed. resource[_variation][_style][_locale][.device].extension The RSL I've sent you before does exactly this, because there's already an extra loop for an array of extensions. So, in other words, what the code does is to continue using the same schema that exists today, but adding extra extensions. resource[_variation][_style][_locale].extension Where "extension" can be: ".android.html" or ".m.html" for generic mobile version.
