Google is going to penalise misconfigured mobile sites

I think it's an interesting statement. Who is Google to say the site is misconfigured?

Who is Google to say that a searcher doesn't deserve to find a site because Google doesn't like the way it handles mobile?

I guess it's an old argument, already raging, since Google has long decided who gets to see what and in which order.

In a sense it may not affect Xara users, since the two mal-techniques described aren't really used in conjunction with Xara and mobile.
