Hello, I was taking a long-overdue browse over the CSS3 drafts and was trying to figure out how I would cleanly go about specifying separate style directives for luminous and reflective surfaces. My use case is the ability to specify light-on-dark colour schemes for luminous displays and dark-on-light for reflective ones, inspired by this: http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/166/ . It occurs to me that with the advent of technologies like E-Ink (e.g. Kindle), as with various other reflective display technology either extant or on the horizon that it might make sense to decouple the luminosity of the display surface from the actual medium (e.g. print, the CSS2 definition of handheld). Perhaps it would make sense to add a "surface" media feature that can take the values "luminous" and "reflective", as well as possibly coalesce in "tactile" for surfaces like braille and hypothetical TactaPad-like systems. If this has already been addressed, please ignore. Respectfully, -- Dorian Taylor http://doriantaylor.com/
