There's a draft before the HTTP-wg [1] that attempts to address this issue:
ABSTRACT
User-Agent Display Attributes Headers provide a means for an HTTP
client and server to negotiate for content dependent on the
client display capabilities. This memo describes the syntax for
introducing this information into an HTTP transmission. The
intent is to present resource variants when available such
that a capable server may present documents in a preferred form to
a client. If such a preferred form is not available, the server
should still provide the requested documents.
This specification is intended as an extension to HTTP/1.1, to
be implemented using a content negotiation method such as
transparent content negotiation.
