The future is more likely to see the cooperation between existing methods and languages such as SMIL’s switch and CSS media queries as well as with emerging methods and languages. All of these refined and orchestrated through the use of CC/PP profiles and preferences.

1.1 Overview
The goal of the CC/PP framework is to specify how client devices express their capabilities and preferences (the user agent profile) to the server that originates content (the origin server).

1.2 Executive summary of requirements.
The requirements on the framework emphasize three aspects:
