Dumb, dumb, DUMB.

If they want to go after something important, how about slapping web developers on the wrist, who fail to optimise their graphics. THAT is what kills web pages for me on mobile.

When I designed pages in the 90's, it was essential that we optimised graphics for the 56k modem. Now it's important for a morphed version of the very same reason.

Going after device performance improvements when processing power and RAM on mobiles is increasing all the time, just seems ludicrous to me. Javascript allows a lot of flexibility regarding menu structures and is relatively easy for a noob to pull off. There is the potential here that they could lock people out of web design if they're not careful ... by including something that is obvious to them, but won't be so obvious to someone coming in fresh.
