> HTML content can be shared between desktop and mobile devices with just a stylesheet change.

Have you been able to pull this off in most cases?

In my experience, the mobile version of a site requires changes to the HTML, such as turning links into buttons and removing content.

It depends how complex your markup is.

I've found that a site that's been developed for the desktop can usually be made much more accessible by offering a different stylesheet. I.e. it's better than the alternative of doing nothing ;)

But I agree - it's not always as straightforward as you might hope would be. Sometimes it makes sense to serve different markup.
