Given that the Media Queries spec is in CR going towards PR, what's the avenue
for specifying this? Simply include it in CSS3 Writing Modes?
So @writing-mode would instead be:
@media (writing-mode) {
/* styles used when writing modes are supported */
.rounded { border-radius: 2em 1em; }
}
Is that what you're imagining?
