No kidding.
The company I work for have a product that is dedicated to taking a neutral markup representation of the page content (very similar to XHTML2) along with thematic (style) and (gross) layout information (both of which can vary by device) and translates and combines them to generate markup appropriate to the device.
This includes device recognition based on user agent and other profile information, automated generation of "dissected" pages when the page would be too big for the device, and tailoring of the output leveraging a repository that describes the capabilities of the device in detail, selected from literally thousands of mobile (and other) devices.
This would
not be needed, and our company wouldn't be trading, if addressing the mobile web were that simple.
