Re: .mobi
As I understand .mobi is simply a domain name extension like .org, so it has nothing to do with code editing. It simply signifies that this site is for mobiles. Also WML is for WAP pages while most mobile users use HTTP and some mobile web browser, so WML is obsolete in this case. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Some basic .wml support is there, but frankly you are one of the rare persons to inquire about this. It seems that with things such as Opera Mobile and iPhone Safari and other cool pocket browsers, the mainstream is heading for the real deal - HTTP and not WAP anymore. This is why we have very basic WML support, but still better some than none.
I think the deal is to detect such browser and display different HTML - smaller page version with less layouts and CSS / images etc. This is how CNNMoney.com works when opened with Opera Mobile.
