Re: [media-queries] and Ambient Light Sensor API

Interesting idea. We should probably ask the question to a a11y expert to be 
sure, but I think both have roughly the same effect indeed.

Note: the Microsoft MQ has two high-contrast modes: black-on-white and 
white-on-black. Also, in high-contrast mode, the browser automatically 
modify the site's layout to match the high-contrast requirements unless the 
"-ms-high-contrast-adjust: none;" property is specified on an element. I'm 
not sure we want the browser to automatically adjust a website for night 
mode when it wasn't specified by the author.

But if we can work those issues out, it's probably a good idea.
