Some feedback/questions regarding the Media Queries CR: http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/CR-css3-mediaqueries-20020708/ Given the W3C has already developed a framework (CC/PP) for describing device capabilities (to be used by a server to generate appropriate content), why did the CSS WG ignore this work and develop yet another, competing solution? A design principle in section 2.4 of the CSS2 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/intro.html#q6 says CSS2 is device independent: [[ Vendor, platform, and device independence. Style sheets enable documents to remain vendor, platform, and device independent. ... ]] yet Media Queries break this principle by adding device *dependent* data to a document. Why did the CSS WG break this very important design principle? Regards, Art Barstow ---
