Visibility mobile is an interesting new company setup by Bena Roberts of the blogs mobileseonews.com and gomonews.com. They have developed a new standard for meta information for mobile websites called Meta.txt - the idea is to create a new standard for mobile search. This makes a lot of sense as at the moment mobile search is pretty much broken - even google struggles to rank mobile sites and has basically started just offeirng up normal PC sites rather than mobile versions through google.com/m. Meta.txt would help search engines to find and rank mobile sites and deliver relevant searches for mobile users.
It remains to be seen whether the new standard can get traction but Visibility Mobile are also offering a range of other bespoke mobile seo services in addition to the new standard so well worth checking out if you are looking for help in this area.

This looks like interesting stuff.
W3C has been interested in descriptions of Web sites and is in the process of finalising some specs that allow "trusted" descriptions using any number of "vocabularies", in an initiative called POWDER. The vocabulary described in the paper referred to here is a good example of this.
POWDER is in its full glory is very powerful but subsets of it can be used quite simply.
