but what I would particularly like to see is how it handles navboxes. Traditionally, they have been hidden on the Wikipedia mobile site, prompting people to do all kinds of sick workarounds that kind of work, but not really. If anyone can come up with a decent solution to that it's probably you :)
The solution is probably for the on-wiki editors to make navboxes responsive (e.g. using TemplateStyles[1]), rather than expecting the skin to deal with it.
Skipping navboxes is a decision that was taken by the WMF team responsible for the mobile site (whatever it was called at the time) and can be solved cleanly only at the skin level, but I don't expect this to happen as long as it will break the mobile site.
Your proposal would be the ideal argument for reversing the current "solution", yes, but realistically, it's not going to happen throughout the hundreds of wikis that implemented navboxes.
