Re: [cssom-view] addMediumListener / removeMediumListener

Hi Anne,

Could we use the names addMediaListener, removeMediaListener and matchMedia
and accept media query lists?

If we do that we will need to specify how to compare media query lists. A
preliminary suggestion is:

Media query list serialization:

1 - if the media query list is empty return "all".

2 - fill a list with all distinct serializations[1] of the media queries in
the media query list that would not be ignored[2] in an evaluation. let that
list be called serialization list.

3 - if the serialization list is empty return "not all"

4 - sort the serialization list in lexicographical order

5 - return the serialization list serialized as a comma-separated list[3]

Comparing media query lists:

To compare two media query lists means to serialize both of them and return
true if they are a case sensitive match or false if they are not.
