What I'm not too keen on is the notion that we have this
massive
generalisation - 'mobile' (which I believe is what you guys
are
referring to by handheld), which can be used - and without
that then
it's safest to assume mobile devices aren't catered for in
the css - so
it should be ignored.
Mobile browsing is very young and there are all sorts of
devices about
(the iPhone's Safari looks, render-wise, just like the
current WebKit) -
and significantly, different screen sizes. One size fits all
seems a bit
harsh to me.
What would your mobile css change compared to the screen
one? Would it,
in effect, pre-empt some browser manufacturers' decision and
just get
rid of everything except fonts and text colours?
This is what I believe the solution to be [http://www.sarmal.com/] -
javascript tests for viewport dimensions and serves
appropriate CSS. Try
firing it up on a desktop and re-sizing your browser
window.
Thoughts?

Barney
