Actually, for the "not 3d-glasses" case I would expect it to be simply  
ignored and therefore not evaluate to true. However, for anything that  
does match IDENT I would expect it to be preserved and therefore "not  
anything-that-matches-IDENT" would evaluate to true (as long as  
anything-that-matches-IDENT itself is not supported or is not the current  
media for the view).

Since nobody has really said anything other than not wanting more change  
I'll change (hah) this to be in line with Opera and WebKit and what David  
Baron preferred. (Which is also more in line with the previous Candidate  
Recommendation.)
