<h2><a name="abstract" id="abstract"></a>Abstract</h2>
<p>This document provides an introduction to, and the benefits of, DIAL (the
Device Independent Authoring Language). It summarizes the concept of device
independence, the scenarios in which it could be used, and the considerations
in order to achieve that goal. It then describes the role of DIAL in ensuring
the delivery of content suitable for the user, device and inherent
circumstances in which it was requested. </p>
