The problem I have with the media="[insert media here]" attribute in 
CSS, is that it assumes that you'll use the same URL for all your 
outputs. Who would do that? Why forcing a cellphone surfer to d/l a 
HTML document in, say, graysacle with the banners, top-menus and 
comments section hidden (using CSS), when instead you can offer a URL 
of a superfast stripped-down page with a stripped-down .css file 
included? Or am I missing something here..?
Seems like overkill to me to include a lot of linked css files in the 
first place when the only one you'd really need is the "print.css" 
file (since you use the cache to print, since the entire file is 
already downloaded).

just my $.02 - enlightenment wanted :)
