@Shelan : We use twitter bootstrap to have a modern look and feel. Thanks for your work about mobile theme. It was an option to migrate to 5 if the customer chose two design rather than responsive. Finally it is easier to design Bootstrap than JqMobile.
@Glen : No problem to add references to these blogs. I didn't see the jira but it is easier for me too to deliver a patch. I am right with the three problem and I think you are right to label this functionnality as experimental.
