[racket] Dynamic Templates?

It bugs me too, at times. But it does solve some problems. My cell
hates big giant web pages that take three minutes to load when all I'm
looking for is a phone number or "why is my Comcast down?". (The
answer is you have to wade through big giant web pages in order to
sign up for text alerts.) My cell phone would love extremely simple
small pages less than 1K in size with no graphics and just text and
lists of links. Then again most web designers are not targeting their
sites at a Nokia E71 user over 3G! Yes, I think that is a terrible
oversight. A smart core web page with js feature detection and
performance measurement could adjust to your device and provide a
tailored experience. Maybe a little server side sniffing to catch
certain devices for which even this will either fail or be too slow.
