That would be true if there weren't eleventy-billion different mobile
browsers each with slightly different capabilities and different
renderers. In addition, most of the browsers can't handle xslt
directly, most can't handle js, and a few have css issues, so it's
down to simple xhtml, css, and some images.
And as far as I can tell, most of the people providing content the
"right" way are relatively recent entrants to the web. Many of the
older organizations and early entrants are still heavily table-based
using font tags. I won't name names here. ;)
