This seems like a perfect use-case for the @media rule of CSS, does it not?

It's obviously not up-to-date in its definition (eg. handheld devices
are not "typically small screen, limited bandwidth" anymore), but on
the other hand it allows undefined types as well so nothing prevents
implementers to extend it beforehand (like is done with most CSS
properties anyway).
