Huh. The iPhone seems to be half and half. Screen types are applied, but media types are not. What does that mean?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you mean? Screen is a media type, as is handheld.

I'm sorry. I meant the Handheld type is not supported. Screen is supported.

It's faking it just like my browser. The W3C definition of handheld:

Intended for handheld devices (typically small screen, monochrome, limited bandwidth).

I guess no one wants that pigeonhole.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is is possible to use XSL to correctly add a single day to a date in XML? Is it easy?

If not, I could just create an extra field and do the calculation in the SQL stored proc....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If your XSL processor includes EXSLT, then you can do date calculations. If not, then no.

Thanks Tom. I don't think our client uses that. SQL it is!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, apparently Mobile Safari doesn't do the media type selector. Which I found a reference to in a tab on a different computer. Bah.

Damn. I would have figured out how to code it, just to streamline B.org on my phone.

Are you kidding? I already started, even though I didn't even have the phone until 5:32 pm ET.
