You shoud try to make some test tunning versions to analyse how bandwidth
the interfaces and technologies qre faster.
I think that one conversation with your clients about the advantages of web
standards may be proper.

 Just to be certain, I woudl give the option to view a super low level
 version of teh website.
 so its almost WAP like...
 Just pure text with a few images...

 Will make browsing faster, and more accessible...

 One thing to realise is.
 People using PDAs or Phones to use hte internet, pay tremendous fees.
 PERSONALLY - I wouldnt mind seeing a black/white page and save me a few
 bucks on bandwidth - than have a colour logo thats 26kb and have images
 all over the navigation bar etc...

 Just another POV for you to think about. :)
 Cheers

  Hi,
 
  If this is off-topic, please reply directly.
 
a client with an international market needs a site redesign. The
  currently use tables, but would like a transition to CSS. My concern
  is their market, an international base of travelers on various
  platforms with varying skill levels.
 
 
 I'm reluctant to do a full CSS redesign, fearing someone will try
  to access the site from a PDA while on foto safari in the outback.
  Would a well crafted, minimal table solution, i.e Designing With Web
  Standards, fit the bill; or is CSS 2 penetration enough to ensure
  seamless integration, as much as can be expected, for the diverse
  client base?
 
 
  Respectfully,
  Chris

If you're genuinely looking at support for alternate devices (PDA's, 
etc) then I think CSS (with a lot of research into alternate 
stylesheets, media-specific stylesheets, etc would be well worth it -- 
far more than tables

Should I just begin with a simple GOOGLE search, or does some other 
resource exist.

However, for some designers, clients and mindsets (marketing depts

pixel-perfect, locked-down design that works for every desktop 
browser.  In this case, tables still have the upper hand if you ask 
me but since you're asking, I probably wouldn't work for a client 
like that these days, because I'm busy
I'm striving for the day I can pick and choose.
