"But there's loads more to be done, so editor Florian Rivoal (aka The Fabulous Flozzle, Opera's rep on the CSS Working Group) is hard at work getting together requirements for Media Queries in CSS 4 – such as testing whether script is enabled, whether devices have touch or keyboard input, or remote controllers or support hover styles.

"You ain't seen nothing yet!"
