What I'm not too keen on is the notion that we have this massive generalisation - 'mobile' (which I believe is what you guys are referring to by handheld), which can be used - and without that then it's safest to assume mobile devices aren't catered for in the css - so it should be ignored.
Mobile browsing is very young and there are all sorts of devices about (the iPhone's Safari looks, render-wise, just like the current WebKit) - and significantly, different screen sizes. One size fits all seems a bit harsh to me.
What would your mobile css change compared to the screen one? Would it, in effect, pre-empt some browser manufacturers' decision and just get rid of everything except fonts and text colours?
This is what I believe the solution to be [http://www.sarmal.com/] - javascript tests for viewport dimensions and serves appropriate CSS. Try firing it up on a desktop and re-sizing your browser window.
