I see, now it makes sense. This is pretty subtle, but you are correct.

While we are at it, do you think you could pull the definition of  
media_query_list from css3-mediaqueries into css3-conditional?  
Essentially, all of section 3 and 3.1 could be moved to css3-conditional.

That way, all the syntactic aspects of media queries would be fully  
normatively described in css3-conditional. This would simplify  
css4-mediaqueries a lot, as it would only need to define media types and  
media features, and the semantics, but it could leave the syntax entirely  
to css3-conditional. Without any (indirect) dependency on  
css3-mediaqueries, that spec could be completely superseded.
