W3C Invites Implementations of Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies 1.0
17 June 2010 | Archive
The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies 1.0. This document provides guidance to Content Transformation proxies as to whether and how to transform Web content. Content Transformation proxies are mostly used to convert Web sites designed for desktop computers to a form suitable for mobile devices. The objective is to reduce undesirable effects on Web applications, especially mobile-ready ones, and to limit the diversity in the modes of operation of Content Transformation proxies, while at the same time allowing proxies to alter content that would otherwise not display successfully on mobile devices.
