Given how close the device and browser are I think for features that have a major impact on your style sheet it does make sense to have a media query of some kind. I.e. I think we should probably have them for vertical layout support, transforms, 3D transforms, and touch input. And maybe some other things I have forgotten. Another reason for this is that Media Queries is what we have and they are easy to extend. Adding a separate mechanism for choosing style sheets based on browser capabilities is not really worth it. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
