It makes more sense to have a pref that the user can control than for us to guess what they might like based on screen size or whatever, I think.
I hesitate on this. For instance: if media_type is defined to "handheld" and there's no such remote CSS, at least it should fallback to "screen".
If there is a handheld style sheet available and dillo is running on a handheld, it would be a shame not to use it. I'm hoping that the page author would have the sense to supply something for type "all".
Maybe it's more practical to provide custom stylesheets (as the current "style.css". e.g. small_screen.css, print.css) and to allow switching among them from the "Tools" menu.
What do you think?
I think someone using handheld would want to use both the page author's handheld-specific code and a user style suitable for their device.
I'll send this to the list in case anyone with experience using such devices with the web has opinions to share.
I never was able to talk Jorge into this one, but I might as well make the code available so that people with handhelds can have it if they wish.
