If the idea is to propose CSS media query properties, then they should be proposed to the CSS WG. I am not sure why we would need or want any markup attributes related to specific CSS media query properties, but if we do, then it's probably best to name and design them after they are defined at the CSS level because we'd want to align on the name.
