Most (web) programmers are looking for higher level functionality from their device library - for example - what kind of video is optimal to serve to this phone? While you can get this information by querying a number of properties on WURFL or Device Atlas, an ideal library would present these most common use cases as higher level functions!

Although the ideal would be to implement the interface proposed by the W3C (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-DDR-Simple-API-20080917/).
