How about: CSS  provides a mechanism called media queries  
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/ whereby developers can provide  
stylerules depending on certain attributes of the device such as  
device-width, aspect ratio, number of colours supported. This can reflow  
content, provide different fonts or differently-sized backgroud images, or  
hide images etc.

- sidenote; if CSS has "display:none" for an image/ element with a  
background image, should we recommend that it not be downloaded until it's  
needed, or would that introduce too much delay if CSS or JAvaScript  
subsequently changed that display value?
