[LINK] W3C mobileOK Scores [was: www.aph.gov.au - we want your feedback]

[Sylvano]

Tom's point about the PAH getting 60 for
mobileOK intrigued me enough to run a few
sites through the validator to see how
a score of 60 compares.

The New Zealand parliament site does best of
amongst us, the UK, and the USA.

I must note that The Sydney Morning Herald
FAQ about mobile access struck me as odd,
where they don't give the address, just how
you can spend 55 cents to get an SMS
with the address... Unless I missed
it somewhere in there.

Anyway...

The New Zealand parliament site does best of
amongst us, the UK, and the USA.

Amongst state/territory portals, the Tasmanian
Government Portal wins out.

The New York Times is worse than the Sydney
Morning Herald for their standard web site,
but roughly the same for their mobile
implementation.

Wikipedia is top of the pops.

This is not too bad, but could be improved.
