Description Anne 2009-09-16 10:38:29 UTC
A new draft of Media Queries has been published. This no longer allows the empty string or a series whitespace characters as being a valid media query. HTML5 needs the following changes:

1. Its concept of "valid media query" should stay the same. (The change is that the empty string and a series of whitespace characters becomes non-conforming.)

2. It needs a concept of parsing a media query value that should probably be used by <link media>, <a media>, <area media>, and <source media>. This should treat the empty string or a string consisting of just whitespace characters as meaning "all" for backwards compatibility. Everything else should be parsed as per the Media Queries specification.

3. <source media> needs to be updated to state that if the attribute is omitted it defaults to all.
