As far as I can tell the "Web platform" will be using media queries on the following locations outside of CSS itself: * HTML <style media> * HTML <link media> * HTML <a media> * HTML <area media> * HTML <source media> (HTML5 feature) * <?xml-stylesheet media?> * SVG <style media> * XBL <style media> For Web browsers sharing the parser simply makes a lot of sense. It may be slightly painful for tools, such as HTML validators, but those can hopefully use libraries for this in due course. (I forgot to mention again that all this also applies to Selectors. Which are re-used in the Selectors API, XBL <binding element>, XBL <content includes>, and HTML5 <rule condition>.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
