Best practices for the Mobile Web

[456 Berea Street]

As I have occasionally mentioned (in The freedom of mobile Internet access (http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200511/the_freedom_of_mobile_internet_access/), for instance), I frequently use my mobile phone to browse the Web. It works really well on modern sites that are accessible, use semantic markup, and separate semantic and presentational markup. It works reasonably well on many other sites, and is a real hassle on most sites.
There are differing opinions on what is the best way of catering to people using mobile phones and other handheld devices to access the Web. I believe the One Web (http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#OneWeb) principle is worth working towards, while others think handhelds and desktop computers should get different content. I personally much prefer getting the same content whether I am using my phone, my iBook, or my desktop Mac.
