[WEB4LIB] Netscape 4.x and [media="all"]

[Samuel Mcdonald]

see:

<start quote>
Netscape Navigator 4.x incorrectly ignores any linked or embedded style
sheets declared with MEDIA values other than screen. For
             example, MEDIA="screen, projection" will cause the style
sheet to be ignored by Navigator 4.x, even if the presentation device is a
             computer screen. Navigator 4.x also ignores style sheets
declared with MEDIA=all.
