W3C mobileOK Checker [ALPHA]

Based on W3C mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0; see also http://www.w3.org/Mobile/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/.

Should be helpful in making a site usable with mobes and other handheld devices. To get there will of course mean some (read: a lot) of extra work compared to serving only to desktop UAs and robots. But with some trickery (transforms) one should be able to spit out code from a single source for desktop, and from that single source, code that also renders moderately uniformly across handhelds, although clearly a lot has to be sacrificed (at least style-wise, see Default Delivery Context) compared to just serving to desktop.
