And my first instinct would have been to use js, perhaps because I
have recently been studying the relatively new features in HTML5 that
seem intriguing.

Would you care to share your favourite resources? Maybe I picked the
wrong search parameters, but when I search the web for this info, the
signal to noise ratio is abysmal. :-(

OK, I can easily get the client from the request header, but, can you
shed light on the Apache rewrite rules you show below, in terms
suitable for a guy that can write code in a number of programming
laguages but for whom this kind of web server administration seems
like magic? I have such trouble with the configuration file for
Apache's web server that I have yet to figure out how to force all
http requests (or all requests for a specific resource) to be resent
using https. :-(

As little as I understand how the above works, or what it means, I
guess I have another question which is, would this mean a separate
suite of presentation layer files for each kind of client? Or is
there a way to have a single suite of presentation layer files that
just adapts to what the client is?
Cheers
