Could this be said about size as well?

<link type="image/png"
       media="all and (max-width:16px and max-height:16px)">

Here I'm assuming that "the rendering surface of the output device" as 
referred to by Media Queries[1] section 5.1 is the rectangle of pixels 
that the icon is going to be rendered within, which I suppose is a 
slight deviation from the meaning when rel="stylesheet", but I find it 
to be intuitive.
