[Bug 24731] Re-add the media attribute to the specification

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24731

--- Comment #2 from Ian Devlin <ian@iandevlin.com> ---
I don't see how those things are counter to each other but I will admit that I
wasn't very clear, my apologies. I will try to be clearer.

First of all I think that the media attribute should remain in the
specification for the reasons given earlier. Secondly, it could be improved
upon to define that it should be treated just like other media queries in that
browser resizes etc. are adhered to as they change.

>>This is going to be true of any widely implemented but unused feature that's removed from the Web platform. For example, document.createAttributeNS was
>>recently removed from Blink, but is still supported in every shipping browser I tested. Should it be added back to http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/?
I would say yes. And this particular example potentially suffers from the same
problem as media, in that people don't know about it. I for one have never
heard of it and don't know what it does (I do now after looking it up -
http://reference.sitepoint.com/javascript/Document/createAttributeNS).
