You're talking about having the origin servers take POSTs and make a
backend event logging call, right? As opposed to a pure JavaScript event
logging solution. I believe that doing it with origin servers hitting event
logging would be ideal for ensuring that data is captured for both devices
without JS support adequate for JS-driven event logging, as well as those
with it.

Argh, decimal placement problem on my side.The usage of
Special:MobileOptions is actually much lower. Here are comparisons of
Wikipedia Zero m.wikipedia versus general m.wikipedia, based on 20140310
log data.

Wikipedia Zero m.wikipedia:
Special:MobileOptions as percent of "pageviews" (text/html content served)
- 0.09%
POST divided by sum of POST and GET on Special:MobileOptions: 24.8%

General m.wikipedia:
Special:MobileOptions as percent of "pageviews" (text/html content served)
- 0.02%
POST divided by sum of POST and GET on Special:MobileOptions: 19.9%
