Re: [wmlprogramming] Anti-Reformatting Manifesto


Here it comes:

http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/manifesto/

I hope I am not forgetting anyone's advice. Please send your comments
in. If someone feels comfortable signing a draft, just shoot me an email
and I'll make sure your email is added right away.

Comments from vendors of reformatting proxies are equally welcome.

As an aside, I am thrilled by the idea that we are achieving in one day
10 times more than what W3C has achieved in 6 months with their Content
Transformation Task Force.
