Feel free to propose e.g. Accept-Media to httpbis[1]. Bandwidth negotiation would be most useful. Do make note of the dynamic nature of many viewports* and the fact that user agents may wish to render resources to multiple medias. The latter is rare enough to tolerate an extra roundtrip. Resizing viewports, however, should ideally not require a roundtrip. For fast resizing, UAs must obtain layouts for all possible sizes before viewport resize. On fullscreen systems, these sizes might as few as one or two. Thing is, user agents could lay self-contained elements out recursively without author stylesheets. User agents are all around much better suited to laying out self-contained elements than authors are. User agents can dynamically and intelligently apply new styles customized for their viewport. All authors have to do is semantically use <nav>, <aside> and <link> (so UAs can place them consistently) and group their content. *Viewport: A window to which an user agent renders a document [2] 1: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/httpbis-charter.html 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#viewport
