My position is that if it renders well in Mozilla, Firefox, Konqueror and IE that is ensuring a wide enough target audience. Sure the Links guys will get pissed, but realistically I think we should ensure operability with the 99% audience - not degrade the overall visual impression for all to appease the 1%
I have to agree with Steven on this to some extent. I'm not a purist anyway. I too have worked with CMS systems, mostly just PostNuke and Mambo. I know that PostNuke has a module available which produces a "hand held friendly" representation of the website.
(Compare http://www.1on1security.com/ with http://www.1on1security.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=AvantGo&file... for example.)
Perhaps we can strike a balance between the two... if the 1% is "intelligent" enough to use Links/Lynx, then they can find the appropriate module - we can even place the link where such browsers readily locate it, etc. Thoughts? [Grrr.. I really wish hitting "reply" would respond to the list, rather than the poster - but at least now I am not so thoughtless as to not consider the blind - made me at least mindful of them as I re-post this to the list.]
