Hi,

Sorry for the slow answer.

I agree that ''view-mode: minimized'' should cover what you expected for the preview use case.

To distinguish between static previews and dynamic ones, you may do something like this:

@media (viewmode: minimized) and (update-frequency: none) {...}

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/mediaqueries-4/#update-frequency <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/mediaqueries-4/#update-frequency>

I agree that the view-mode text is not ideally phrased, but I take "dynamic" to mean dependent on the content, rather than animated, so that still works out.

For the emebdeed use case, "view-mode: floating" is not expected to match for iframes and the like, but given the use case described in the bug quoted above, it would indeed be appropriate there.
