Not sure we should. A syntax of a medium can be found in the CSS2 spec but this interface is not supposed to be limited by CSS2. We also have media in the HTML4 spec. The stylesheet PI uses this definition. For them, this is "single media descriptor" but i can't find a clear syntax except that they are comma separated. I don't think we can rely on this definition. So, without a clear common definition for the syntax of a medium, it's difficult to raise an error. It also depends on the context. Philippe.
