This sounds like a good idea to me as well, and I recently became
co-editor of the Media queries spec, so it is up to me (and Sylvain)
to make this happen now. Media queries level 3 is already pretty stable,
so I don't think it makes sense to try and add this here, but this
is certainly something that I'll be happy to add in level 4.
