Strategies for transforming markup content to code-bearing content for consumption by a receiving device

A method for receiving and consuming consumable content, comprising:

• transmitting a request for document content associated with the consumable content;
• receiving a reply from a proxy entity that contains code-bearing content that expresses the document content;
• and
• consuming the code-bearing content to provide the consumable content.

Proxy functionality for providing consumable content to a receiving device, comprising:

• proxy management logic configured to manage the operation of the proxy functionality, including logic configured to receive and process a request for document content;
• content loader logic, in cooperation with the proxy management logic, configured to:
• load the requested document content from a source of the document content;
• and
• identify at least one feature of the document content to form an identified feature set;
• and
• content builder logic, in cooperation with the proxy management logic, configured to form code that can be executed by the receiving device to provide the identified feature set, to thereby provide code-bearing content,
• wherein the proxy management logic is configured to forward the code-bearing content to the receiving device in response to the request.
