• The browser-category defines a group of browser types. The group is identified by a media type attribute, mime-type and formatter-type elements. These are required when defining a new category.

• Browsers in a category inherit automatically the properties of their category. However they may override some of these properties. The phone.com browsers for example have their own formatter type, primarily to output a different XML heading.
