This one raises some interesting questions...  the vast majority of
phones out there don't do anything with Javascript (IIRC, iPhone an
exception) and a few choke on the page if it's not xhtml and even a
few choke if the doctype is declared improperly.  While I hate the
fact that so many manufacturers have rolled their own browsers (or
customizations), I hope that this hasn't just compounded the
problem...

Open standards are great... if they're used.
