refactor: split the repo into self-contained validator, directory, quickstart, spec and site folders

Browse source 
validator/ holds mewslint (lint, css, fetch, DTD/CSS data); directory/ holds
the mews.page service (app, db, check, pages, cli) and depends on validator/;
quickstart/ holds mews-quickstart and md2mews.py for third parties who want
to create Mews content without cloning the repo; spec/ consolidates doc/ and
dtd/ with the canonical mews-0.1.css; site/ becomes a Pelican project with
the forward-facing pages as Markdown, the check form kept as a raw HTML
snippet. Root pyproject.toml is now a virtual uv workspace over validator,
directory and quickstart, with cross-cutting tests that span more than one
of them staying at the repo root. Makefile and flake.nix updated to match.

Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
intended for use by those authorized to give the public
permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
licensed material, or material used under an exception or
limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:

Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
the licensed material may still be restricted for other
reasons, including because others have copyright or other
rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
respect those requests where reasonable. More considerations

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public
License
By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License ("Public
License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a
contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your
acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You
such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
making the Licensed Material available under these terms and
conditions.
Section 1 -- Definitions.
a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar
Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material
and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered,
arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring
permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording,
Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is
synched in timed relation with a moving image.
b. Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright
and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.
c. BY-SA Compatible License means a license listed at
creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses, approved by Creative
Commons as essentially the equivalent of this Public License.
d. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights
closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database
Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar
Rights.
e. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the
absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright
Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international
agreements.
f. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights
that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
g. License Elements means the license attributes listed in the name
of a Creative Commons Public License. The License Elements of this
Public License are Attribution and ShareAlike.
h. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database,
or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public
License.
i. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the
terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to
all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
j. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
under this Public License.
k. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
available to the public including in ways that members of the
public may access the material from a place and at a time
individually chosen by them.
l. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
m. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
Section 2 -- Scope.
a. License grant.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
in part; and
b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
its terms and conditions.
3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
6(a).
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
(4) never produces Adapted Material.
5. Downstream recipients.
a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
Public License.
b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.
c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
Material.
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
b. Other rights.
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
Public License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 -- License Conditions.
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
following conditions.
a. Attribution.
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
form), You must:
a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
with the Licensed Material:
i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
Material and any others designated to receive
attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
designated);
ii. a copyright notice;
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
warranties;
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
extent reasonably practicable;
b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
hyperlink to, this Public License.
2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
information.
3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
reasonably practicable.
b. ShareAlike.
In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share
Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons
license with the same License Elements, this version or
later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
context in which You Share Adapted Material.
3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
portion of the contents of the database;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material,
including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
waiver of all liability.
Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
terminate automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
of this Public License.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
will not terminate this Public License.
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
License.
Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
Section 8 -- Interpretation.
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
be made without permission under this Public License.
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
conditions.
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
Licensor.
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

# Known issues
Things that are true of the implementation but not yet of the spec, or the other
way round. Each one is a decision waiting to be made, not a bug to work around.
## The hosted XHTML-MP DTD cannot validate offline
Section 9.1 says the project hosts a copy of the original XHTML-MP 1.2 DTD "so
validation never depends on the Open Mobile Alliance's server." The copy in
`spec/xhtml-mobile12.dtd` is only the OMA *driver*: it pulls about twenty-two
modules from `http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/DTD/*.mod`, one module
from openmobilealliance.org, and a relative `xhtml-mobile12-model-1.mod` that is
not in this repository. Hosting it therefore removes one network dependency and
leaves the rest.
It does not affect Mews validation. `spec/mews-0.1.dtd` is self-contained, and
the only thing the declared doctype has to provide is the character entity set,
which `validator/mews/lint.py` builds in memory from `html.entities` — the same
252 names, no network, nothing to keep in sync.
Two ways out, when it matters: reword 9.1 to say the hosted copy is a
convenience, or vendor the modules under `spec/xhtml-mobile12/` with a
public-ID resolver. Only the second would let a test prove section 3's claim
that every page passing the Mews DTD is also valid XHTML-MP 1.2 apart from
`lang` and `dir`.
## The head element order is normative, and surprising
`<!ELEMENT head ( title, meta, ( meta | link )* )>` means the title comes first
and at least one meta follows it, so a `<link>` before the first `<meta>` is
invalid. That follows section 3.3, but 3.3 does not say the order is normative,
and the validator's message has to explain it. Worth a sentence in the spec.
## The copies under validator/mews/data
`validator/mews/data/mews-0.1.css` and `validator/mews/data/mews-0.1.dtd` are
copies of the canonical files in `spec/`. They exist so the validator finds
them when it is installed as a wheel with nothing else on disk. `tests/test_data.py` fails if a copy drifts from its original.

# Mews Profile (Draft 0.1)
## 1. Status and introduction
Mews Profile is the format behind the Mews project at mews.page. It is a small-web format built from a strict subset of XHTML Mobile Profile 1.2, a shared default stylesheet, and simple subscription conventions. Mews pages are ordinary web pages: they open in any browser and on WAP 2.0 phones, and dedicated clients can render them with their own presentation.
This specification is published under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International. The software published with it, including the validator and the default stylesheet, is published under Apache License 2.0; the stylesheet is deliberately not share-alike, because section 5.2 asks every site to host its own copy of it.
This is a working draft (0.1). The name keeps the "MP" of XHTML-MP, turning Mobile Profile into Mews Profile. Each version is published at mews.page/spec/\<version> (this one at mews.page/spec/0.1), and mews.page/spec/ always points to the latest. Everything here is open to change.
### Core principle
**Authors provide structure. Readers control presentation.**
Every rule in this spec follows from that principle. Scripts and author styling are excluded because they take control from the reader. The default stylesheet exists so readers without a dedicated client still get good presentation. The conformance marker exists so clients know when they may apply their own presentation.
### Goals
- Pages that are small, fast, readable, and free of tracking.
- No special protocol, server, proxy, or client required to read a page.
- Every conforming page is valid XHTML-MP 1.2 apart from two attributes (section 3), so it works on real WAP 2.0 handsets.
- A format simple enough to write by hand and to implement a client for in a weekend.
## 2. Conventions and terminology
The key words MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT and MAY are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
| Term | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Mews page | An XHTML-MP 1.2 document that follows every MUST rule in this spec and carries the conformance marker. |
| Mews site | A set of Mews pages under one registered domain. |
| Author | Whoever writes or publishes Mews pages. |
| Client | Any software that displays Mews pages: a dedicated Mews client, an ordinary browser, or a WAP phone. |
| Mews client | A client that recognizes the conformance marker and applies its own presentation. |
| Default stylesheet | The shared CSS file published with this spec (section 5). |
| Entry | A dated link that a client can treat as a post (section 6). |
## 3. Document format
A Mews page MUST be a well-formed, valid XHTML-MP 1.2 document that also follows the restrictions in section 4, with one exception: it MAY carry the lang and dir attributes, which XHTML-MP lacks. Browsers need lang to know a page's language when it is served as text/html, and dir to show right-to-left text; old WAP browsers ignore both. Apart from these two attributes, the rules only remove or restrict features, so every Mews page is otherwise valid XHTML-MP.
### 3.1 Prologue and doctype
A Mews page MUST begin with an XML declaration specifying UTF-8, followed by the XHTML-MP 1.2 doctype. Either quote character may be used in the declaration, as XML allows:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">
```
The root element MUST be `<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">` and SHOULD carry `xml:lang` and `lang` attributes with the same value, naming the page language, plus `dir="rtl"` for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
### 3.2 Conformance marker
A Mews page MUST include this element in its `<head>`:
```xml
<meta name="mews-profile" content="0.1" />
```
The `content` value is the spec version the page follows. A Mews client MUST NOT apply Mews presentation to a page without the marker; such a page is ordinary XHTML-MP.
### 3.3 Head
The `<head>` MUST contain a `<title>` and the conformance marker (3.2). It MAY contain `<meta name="description">`, `<meta name="author">`, `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />`, `<link rel="icon">` pointing to the same site, the stylesheet link (section 5) and feed links (section 6). Nothing else is permitted in the head. Pages SHOULD include the viewport tag, so modern phones show them at readable size.
## 4. Elements and attributes
Mews Profile keeps the structural parts of XHTML-MP 1.2 and removes everything that controls appearance or behavior. Anything not listed in 4.1 is excluded, notably script, event attributes such as onclick, the style element and attribute, object, meta refresh, and big and small.
### 4.1 Permitted elements and attributes
| Group | Elements |
| --- | --- |
| Structure | `html`, `head`, `title`, `body` |
| Headings | `h1`–`h6` |
| Text blocks | `p`, `blockquote`, `pre`, `address`, `hr` |
| Inline text | `em`, `strong`, `b`, `i`, `code`, `kbd`, `samp`, `var`, `q`, `cite`, `abbr`, `dfn`, `br` |
| Links | `a` |
| Lists | `ul`, `ol`, `li`, `dl`, `dt`, `dd` |
| Tables | `table`, `caption`, `tr`, `th`, `td` |
| Images | `img` |
| Forms | `form`, `fieldset`, `label`, `input`, `select`, `option`, `optgroup`, `textarea` |
| Head | `meta`, `link` (as limited in 3.3) |
Only the attributes below are permitted; any other attribute MUST NOT appear. `id`, `title`, `xml:lang`, `lang` and `dir` are permitted on every element in the body; `lang` and `dir` are the Mews extensions described in section 3. `class` is permitted only on `body` (section 5.3).
| Element | Attributes |
| --- | --- |
| `html` | `xmlns`, `xml:lang`, lang, dir |
| `meta` | `name`, `content` |
| `link` | `rel`, `href`, `type`, `title` |
| `a` | `href`, `hreflang`, `rel`, `type`, `accesskey` |
| `img` | `src`, `alt` |
| `blockquote`, `q` | `cite` |
| `ol` | `start` |
| `li` | `value` |
| `table` | `summary` |
| `th`, `td` | `rowspan`, `colspan`, `scope` |
| `form` | `action`, `method`, `enctype` |
| `input` | `type` (`text`, `password`, `checkbox`, `radio`, `submit`, `reset`, `hidden`), `name`, `value`, `checked`, `size`, `maxlength`, `accesskey`, `inputmode` |
| `select` | `name`, `multiple`, `size` |
| `option` | `value`, `selected` |
| `optgroup` | `label` |
| `textarea` | `name`, `rows`, `cols`, `accesskey`, `inputmode` |
| `label` | `for`, `accesskey` |
### 4.2 Rules for kept features
- **Links.** `href` MAY point anywhere. Links to non-Mews pages are allowed; clients decide how to open them.
- **Images.** An `img` MUST have an `alt` attribute: a description, or `alt=""` for decoration. It MUST NOT carry `width`, `height`, `align` or any other attribute that sizes, aligns or styles it. Each image is shown in its own block, at its natural size and never wider than the text column; the default stylesheet does this, and clients SHOULD do the same. Its `src` MUST point to the same site as the page (the same registered domain, so example.com and img.example.com both qualify) and MUST NOT be a `data:` URI. Formats SHOULD be GIF, JPEG or PNG, which every client and old handset can show. Each image SHOULD be under 50 KB. Authors SHOULD strip location and camera metadata. Text SHOULD NOT be presented only as an image; where it is, the alt attribute SHOULD carry that text.
- **Tables.** Tables are for data only. Tables MUST NOT be nested, and SHOULD use `th` for header cells.
- **Forms.** Forms SHOULD use `method="post"` for anything that changes server state.
- **`accesskey`.** Values SHOULD be the digits 0–9, which map to phone keypads.
### 4.3 Size
The page markup SHOULD be under 64 KB and MUST be under 256 KB. The page plus all its images SHOULD be under 320 KB.
## 5. Presentation
Authors MUST NOT style their pages. The only stylesheet a Mews page may reference is the default stylesheet, which gives ordinary browsers and phones good presentation. Mews clients ignore it and use their own.
### 5.1 The default stylesheet
The project publishes a versioned default stylesheet. Below is the complete version 0.1, `mews-0.1.css`; sites copy it unchanged (5.2). Its base rules MUST be valid WAP CSS so handsets can use it; `line-height`, `max-width` and the dark-mode block are enhancements that older parsers skip. Every text and link color meets 7:1 contrast against its background.

```
### 5.2 Linking it
A Mews page SHOULD link the default stylesheet with exactly one element:
```xml
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mews-0.1.css" />
```
Sites SHOULD host their own copy rather than linking a central URL, so no single server sees traffic across all sites. A copy on another site is also a resource from another site, which section 7.4 forbids; the project's own copy at `mews.page/mews-0.1.css` is the one exception a validator tolerates, and it warns about it. Authors MUST NOT modify their copy, except to add @font-face rules that load font files from their own site; any other change makes the page non-conforming.
### 5.3 Body variants
To let sites look distinct without author styling, `body` MAY carry one class from this list. The default stylesheet and Mews clients choose how each variant looks.
| Class | Intent |
| --- | --- |
| `mews-warm` | Warm palette |
| `mews-cool` | Cool palette |
| `mews-green` | Green palette |
| `mews-mono` | Monochrome, like an early phone screen |
Mews clients MAY ignore variants and instead derive colors from the hostname.
## 6. Subscriptions
Any Mews page can be subscribed to through dated links. Sites MAY also offer an Atom feed for ordinary feed readers.
### 6.1 Dated links
A link is an entry when it starts a list item (li) and its text begins with a date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, followed by a space and a title:
```xml
<ul>
<li><a href="2026-10-08-retro-phones.html">2026-10-08 Collecting retro phones</a></li>
<li><a href="2026-09-21-first-post.html">2026-09-21 First post</a></li>
</ul>
```
Rules:
- Entries SHOULD be listed newest first.
- An entry's URL SHOULD NOT change once published; clients use it to tell entries apart.
- A Mews client subscribing to a page MUST treat each entry link as a post and report new ones.
### 6.2 Atom feeds
A site MAY publish an Atom feed and link it from the head:
```xml
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="feed.xml" title="Posts" />
```
The feed SHOULD contain the same entries as the dated-links page. Entry content in the feed, if any, SHOULD itself follow section 4.
## 7. Transport and serving
Mews pages are served over ordinary HTTP. No special server software is needed.
### 7.1 MIME type
Servers SHOULD send Mews pages as `text/html`, so browsers still display a page that has a small markup error. Servers MAY send `application/xhtml+xml`, or `application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml`, to clients whose `Accept` header prefers it. Mews clients parse pages as XML whatever the MIME type.
### 7.2 HTTPS and HTTP
Sites SHOULD serve over HTTPS. Because WAP 2.0 handsets cannot negotiate modern TLS, sites MAY also serve the same pages over plain HTTP. A site serving both MUST NOT redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS for clients that cannot follow it; a common approach is to redirect only when the `User-Agent` is a modern browser.
### 7.3 Caching
Servers SHOULD send `Last-Modified` or `ETag` headers so clients and aggregators can check for changes cheaply.
### 7.4 No tracking
Mews pages MUST NOT load resources from other sites. Servers MUST NOT set cookies on requests for Mews pages, except as part of a form the reader submits.
## 8. Clients
Any browser can read a Mews page. This section applies to Mews clients, which present pages their own way.
### 8.1 Requirements
A Mews client:
- MUST detect the conformance marker and apply Mews presentation only to pages that carry it.
- MUST ignore any author CSS, including the default stylesheet, and use its own presentation.
- MUST NOT execute scripts or event attributes, even on a page that wrongly includes them.
- MUST NOT load resources from sites other than the page's own site without the reader's action.
- MUST display a page that is not well-formed as a clear error, or offer to show its text; it MUST NOT silently guess.
### 8.2 Recommendations
A Mews client SHOULD:
- Let the reader choose fonts, sizes, colors and line width.
- Support `accesskey` as keyboard or keypad shortcuts.
- Support subscriptions through dated links (6.1) and Atom (6.2).
- Show a non-Mews page plainly, or hand it to the system browser, rather than refusing it.
- Mark links to non-Mews pages before the reader follows them, where it can tell.
### 8.3 Freedom
Clients MAY present pages in any way that keeps their structure intact, including reflowing tables on narrow screens, or hiding images until requested.
## 9. Validation, directory and versioning
### 9.1 Validation
A page conforms when it passes two checks:
1. **The Mews DTD.** The XHTML-MP 1.2 DTD, restricted as in section 4 and extended with lang and dir, published with each spec version at `mews.page/dtd/mews-<version>.dtd` (this one at `mews.page/dtd/mews-0.1.dtd`). It encodes the permitted elements and attributes (4.1), the head rules (3.3), the body variant values (5.3) and the ban on nested tables (4.2).
2. **Rule checks.** The rules a DTD cannot express: image sources, formats and sizes (4.2), page size (4.3), the default stylesheet link and its unmodified copy (5.2), and no resources from other sites (7.4).
Apart from lang and dir, every page that passes the Mews DTD is also valid XHTML-MP 1.2. Pages keep the XHTML-MP doctype from 3.1; the Mews DTD is used only by validators. The project publishes a validator that runs both checks and reports each failure with its section number, at mews.page/check and as a command line tool.
The project also hosts a copy of the original XHTML-MP 1.2 DTD at `mews.page/dtd/xhtml-mobile12.dtd`, so validation never depends on the Open Mobile Alliance's server. Browsers and clients MUST NOT fetch either DTD.
### 9.2 Directory
The Mews directory at mews.page/directory lists only sites whose pages pass validation. Anyone may submit a page address: the page is fetched and checked, and a page that passes lists its site at once. Nobody reviews submissions, and the directory holds no contact details.
Listed sites are rechecked periodically. A site whose page stops conforming is removed; submitting the page again once it is fixed lists the site again straight away. A site the checker simply cannot reach is retried for a few days before it is removed, because downtime is not a conformance failure. The checks say nothing about what a site publishes, so the project also removes a listing on request.
### 9.3 Versioning
The spec version uses `MAJOR.MINOR`. A minor version may only relax rules or add recommendations, so pages valid under an earlier minor version remain valid. A major version may tighten rules. Clients SHOULD accept any version with a major number they support.
## Appendix A. Example Mews page
A complete conforming page with a posts list and a feed link:

"""Check mews-0.1.dtd against the XHTML Mobile 1.2 driver and the spec.
The Mews DTD is maintained by hand. It cannot be generated by stripping
xhtml-mobile12.dtd: that file is a driver which declares no elements (the
declarations live in the W3C and OMA module files it points to), DTD
attribute lists only ever add, a re-declared element is an error rather
than an override, and the rules that define Mews (the head model of
SPEC.md 3.3, the body variant classes of 5.3, the ban on nested tables
of 4.2, and lang and dir) do not exist in XHTML-MP to be kept.
This script verifies what the driver and the spec can check:
- the driver is the expected XHTML Mobile 1.2 driver, with event
attributes included and bidi ignored, so lang and dir are Mews
extensions (SPEC.md 3);
- the DTD declares exactly the elements SPEC.md 4.1 permits;
- the DTD keeps the driver's pre content model verbatim;
- the DTD keeps the li value and ol start attributes the driver adds.

<!-- Mews Profile 0.1 DTD
Published at mews.page/dtd/mews-0.1.dtd. Browsers and clients must not
fetch this file.
XHTML Mobile Profile 1.2 restricted as in the Mews Profile
Specification 0.1 section 4, extended with lang and dir (section 3).
Maintained by hand and checked against the XHTML Mobile 1.2 driver,
xhtml-mobile12.dtd (OMA-SUP-DTD_xhtml_mobile12-V1_2-20080331-A), by
check_dtd.py. It cannot be generated by stripping the driver: the
driver declares no elements itself, attribute lists only ever add,
and the rules below do not exist in XHTML-MP to be kept.
This file is standalone: it declares every element and attribute
itself, so validation never depends on the Open Mobile Alliance's or
W3C's servers. Pages keep the XHTML-MP doctype (section 3.1); only
validators use this file (section 9.1).
Encoded here: the permitted elements and attributes (4.1), the head
rules (3.3), the body variant classes (5.3) and the ban on nested
tables (4.2). 51 elements are kept from XHTML Mobile 1.2. Dropped:
acronym, base, big, button, div, legend, noscript, object, param,
script, small, span, style, sub, sup, tt. Event attributes and the
style attribute are omitted entirely.
