Then why attempt to propose new features if you don't even know what's
already available or planned?

Your (very unclear) example looked like it was trying to provide
different styles based on the screen resolution, which is one thing
media queries does. If you had read more than just the abstract, you
would found this example (among many others):
@media screen and (min-width: 400px) and (max-width: 700px) { ... }
Styles within that @media block will only apply to screen media with
viewports that are greater than 400px and less than 700px wide.
Specifying exact resolutions, like 1024x768, as your example did, is bad
because it is the size of the viewport (the canvas within the browser
window), not the the screen resolution that matters.
