The best you could probably wish for was a new property in the next  
level of Media Queries.

   <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/>
  (<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-mediaqueries/>)

This would allow authors to provide separate designs depending on the  
users' (G)UI settings, which would be pushing the definition of /media/.
