But black and white screens will just fall back to the nearest grayscale
equivalent anyway. (Also, that syntax doesn't explain if the fallback
should be used when the palette can't resolve the required colour, when
the bit depth can't resolve the appropriate colour, or when the physical
display cannot show the appropriate colour.)

A true problem, but I prefer my suggested solution:
img { border: none; }
img:replaced { border: 1px black; } /* only matches if image was used */
This seems to be very controversial though.
