Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to handle mobile versions of 
content? Specifically arguments for and against how the BBC handles different 
formats - including mobile, simply by appending a format type to the end of a 
canonical url.
Ie.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007rsj5 is the base url
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007rsj5.mp is the mobile version
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007rsj5.xml is the same data in xml format
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007rsj5.rdf is the rdf representation of the 
data

VS the generally accepted alternative to doing mobile which is to provide a 
different domain, such as mob. Or m.
Ie.
http://m.smh.com.au/
http://m.abc.net.au/


Anyone have any thoughts on pros/cons of the two methodologies? Just curious to 
see if anyone else has implemented the BBC method?

Cheers,
Sam Dwyer
