I sincerely hope that this discussion can veer away from concerns that focus on the use of specific devices or classes of device.

Just because some people want to use a 4" screen to read a doc doesn't mean we should worry about supporting that.

At some point it's OK to say "that device is too small or dumb" for the full - or even a limited - viewing experience.
