Media Queries are design to work with style sheets that implement a the
graphic design of a page that may shift or change depending on the
capabilities of the UA.  A particular media query is, in effect, a
conditional statement that when true will instruct the UA to load and
process a style sheet. Extensions to the Media Query mechanism are outside
the scope of this document. 

Style sheets that are intended to be effective in UA's having a particular
combination of capabilities can include the :lang() pseudo-classes,
attribute selectors and @page rules as appropriate for a specific page
design.
