Subject: XP> XHTML-Print: treating a missing media attribute as
media="screen" when printing not user's intent
Sections 3.13 and 3.15 of the W3C Last Call Working Draft of XHTML-Print
[1]
state, "The absence of the media attribute MUST be treat[ed] as if the
media
attribute had the value 'screen.'"
At the risk of be accused of mind reading, I think that most document
authors do not write style sheets for printing but would like the styles to
be applied when printing as well as browsing. Therefore changing the value
"screen" in the statement shown above to the value "all" would give more
consistent results when browsing and printing.
