Warn when all styles aren\'t handheld?

Description:
Per our call today, we\'d like to make one item in LC-1664 an issue.

mobileOK Basic Tests says:
http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK-basic10-tests/#test_style_sheets_use
\"If the CSS Style contains a single @media rule that specifies the media type
screen, warn\"

Dom says:
* it makes no sense to restrict the warning on the fact that there is
only a single @media screen rule; I think what was meant was: if all the
CSS rules only apply to the screen media type, warn

This line was, I believe, suggested by Charles a long time ago. The issue is
whether it\'s saying what was intended. Dom suggests the intent is to see if all
rules were explicitly targeted to the \"screen\" type. I think that was the
intent.

But, I suggest we expand this a little. If the document only specifies styles
whose media attribute is present but neither \"all\" nor \"handheld\", then,
something\'s probably wrong. The document clearly was authored with styles in
mind, but, everything is explicitly marked as non-mobile. This ought to be a
warn.

This is a superset of Dom\'s interpretation of Charles\'s intent. The issue is:
Charles do we understand your intent? shall we accept Dom\'s rewrite? or go
further and accept my expansion?
