Safe media queries

Opera Presto offers partial support for CSS3 Media Queries as described in the following data table. As stated by the W3C, syntactically, media features resemble CSS properties: they have names and accept certain values. There are, however, several important differences between properties and media features:

• Properties are used in declarations to give information about how to present a document. Media features are used in expressions to describe requirements of the output device.
• Most media features accept optional min- or max- prefixes to express greater or equal to and smaller or equal to constraints. This syntax is used to avoid < and > characters which may conflict with HTML and XML. Those media features that accept prefixes will most often be used with prefixes, but can also be used alone.
• Properties always require a value to form a declaration. Media features, on the other hand, can also be used without a value. For a media feature feature, (feature) will evaluate to true if (feature:x) will evaluate to true for a value x other than zero or zero followed by a unit identifier (i.e., other than 0, 0px, 0em, etc.). Media features that are prefixed by min/max cannot be used without a value. When a media feature prefixed with min/max is used without a value it makes the media query malformed.
• Properties may accept more complex values, e.g., calculations that involve several other values. Media features only accept single values: one keyword, one number, or a number with a unit identifier. (The only exceptions are the aspect-ratio and device-aspect-ratio media features.)

For example, the color media feature can form expressions without a value ((color)), or with a value ((min-color: 1)). This specification defines media features usable with visual and tactile devices. Similarly, media features can be defined for aural media types.
