This first document from the Device Independence Activity describes principles Web authors, users and vendors can employ to achieve a device independent Web.

The goal is to develop usability concepts and rules that can provide a foundation for interoperability as user agents and Web-enabled devices proliferate (phones, voice browsers, television sets, automobile computers, etc.). The specification offers guidelines for the development of new markup languages, modifications and additions/extensions to existing markup languages, authoring of applications and content using existing languages and changes to adaptation tools and processes (such as style sheets, transformations or reusable programming objects).
