The reason that people keep proposing this sort of feature (my preference
is for an all or nothing block) is that even quite simple designs can depend
on multiple features being supported, whereas the cascading rules only
allow you to provide fallback on a per feature basis.

Incidentally, on colours, the browser may not know the colour capabilities
of the display system, e.g. whether a printer is actually capable of colour.
