This starts to get awfully network-dependent (still, although less than
it used to be) but the networks that support "free range" web access to
http://*.internet:80 in general still have some level of proxying or
transcoding in situ. For one thing, they'll resize images. They may
pass HTML-like content through if it looks acceptable, but for most of
it (how else are you going to browse the general web?) it'll transcode
from tag soup into XHTML-MP first
XHTML-MP is an important issue if you're dealing with networks or
handsets, but you don't need to code in it for a public site and it
will still get mobile access from many devices and networks.
