There should be tests like: -external CSS style sheets supported -lists with bullets (and proper indent) -tables -css float -background images -http caching (without crashing) I've seen all of the above and more fail miserably on default browsers on Nokias, Motorollas and Ericsons. A __lot__ of the devices out there run with homebrewn browsers by the handset producers themselves, only a tiny minority runs Opera & co. That test is not basic enough. There should be tests like:
