The Manifesto aims at being much more effective than W3C has managed to be so far.

The reason behind my support to the initiative is, as you mention, the frustration of the developers. Hindsight is always better to listen to developers' frustrations, at the end of the day they are building our small (fragmented) mobile world, isn't it? Ciao Andrea,

nice to hear from you again. The reason behind my support to the initiative is, as you mention, the frustration of the developers. Hindsight is always better to listen to developers’ frustrations, at the end of the day they are building our small (fragmented) mobile world, isn’t it?

The W3C has had a Task Force writing a guideline for a few months. The Task Force works completely open and everyone is welcome to add their comments on the mailing list. The editor's drafts have been public for quite some time and they are not so different from what Luca is promoting. See the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/latest" rel="nofollow">Content Transformation Guidelines</a>. This is why I think that while the manifesto certainly shows clearly the frustration of the developers, I don't see much need for it if not to join forces with who has been working on this for months (also getting involved network operators and vendors such as Novarra and Drutt).
