Do you have details on this?  The non-IE browsers I work with have no 
such problems, so I wonder if this is a holdover from prerelease 
versions of whatever browser you've seen this in.

Of course, if you specify media="screen", don't be surprised when your 
styles aren't applied to print output.  And in Opera's kiosk mode, 
too--it switches to media="projection" when you hit F11.

BTW, does anyone know of any Palm or Pocket PC browser that observes 
media="handheld"?
