Yes and no, we can only make these changes to the content with script
so a script print solution is acceptable, for example in the above
example the static non-scripted document would not have any of this
media specific content in, it would only be added with script when
appropriate, that way the media specific nature can be relied upon -
the script is unobtrusive.  CSS however is optional at the fine
grained level.
