Dear jQuery Mobile Developement Team - 

On this page...

...regarding this...

iOS5 transitions & fixed toolbars: Refined, but off by default (for now)

The new iOS5 page transitions and true fixed headers have been improved significantly since Beta 3 but after much debate, we’ve decided to have this feature off by default for now because we want to wait for the final version of iOS5 to arrive so we can test this thoroughly. Note that we’re now using a 3D transform CSS rule reduce page rendering artifacts which could cause memory use issues on very complex pages so you may need to override this selectively. To mitigate some usability issues with overflow containers and fixed headers, we’re also disabling zoom by injecting a meta viewport tag only for iOS5 if this feature is enabled. We’re hoping this won’t be necessary long-term but this is the short-term fix.

...what exactly does that mean...

(1). Does it mean "fixed headers and page transitions will be implemented in jQuery Mobile but will only work for iOS5"?

(2). Does it mean "fixed headers and page transitions will be implemented in jQuery Mobile and will work for iOS5 and Android"?

(3). Something else?

You see, the qualifier "iOS5" in the heading is a bit misleading.

Can you please explain a bit more.

Thanks.
