I think half of all web pages out there is probably an exaggeration.
I think most authors use "all" for the media type unless they are
specifically targeting the screen. The Surfin' Safari blog had
discussed a common mistake of using device dependent units when using
the "all" media type, but I guess WebKit already adjusts for that. I
could imagine a site targeting the screen with a design really only
meant for the screen. Printing using that CSS would be worst than
falling back on the default stylesheet.
take care,
Rob
Since the case of a screen only css style sheet can be detected does
it not make sense to make using it an option of the print dialogue. In
fact a more general ability to pick a alternative style sheet when
printing might have other uses.
Or this could be a user option in the browser turned on by default.
Or it could cause a warning or alert and let the use choose.
The chance of no style sheet vs screen only being correct in the real
world is probably close to zero.
