Windows Mobile?  Open?

I'm already seeing a significant number of accesses to the site from handhelds.

I've consigned WAP to the dustbin of history and I've done some very
successful trials of XHTML Strict and CSS blocks.  It really works - you
CAN make pages that are fully useable on very small screens and still make
sense to someone at 1280 x 1024.  Some browsers don't recognise the {at}media
construct in CSS, but every handset less than three years old that I've
tried does:

{at}media screen, print {
 body {
 font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 margin-left: .2in;
 margin-top: .1in;
 margin-right: .2in;
 margin-bottom: .5in;
}
td,th,p,blockquote,ul,ol,li, h1, h2, h3, h4 {
 font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
    font-size: medium;
 color: #000000;
}
td.l {
 text-align: left;
}
caption {
 font-weight: bold;
 font-size: large;
}
a:link {
 color: red;
}
a:visited {
 color: green;
}
a:active {
 color: blue;
}
h1 {
 font-size: x-large;
 text-align: center;
}
h1.header {
 font-size: x-large;
 text-align: center;
 color: blue;
}
h2 {
 font-size: large;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
}
h3 {
 font-size: small;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-align: center;
}
h4 {
 font-size: x-large;
 text-align: center;
 color: blue;
}
p.copy {
 text-align: center;
}
}
{at}media handheld {
 body {
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 margin-left: 0px;
 margin-top: 0px;
 margin-right: 0px;
 margin-bottom: 0px;
}
td,th,p,blockquote,ul,ol,li, h1, h2 {
    font-size: x-small;
