I'm sitting with npub1n4tp6xqh9dvf04jkd9tm50z4krljateetz80zcgm6klcy5sc62nsraery5 (npub1n4t…ery5) at Igalia, trying to find when the media attribute first appeared in #HTML. I'm fairly sure it pre-dates #CSS media queries, but by how much? Was it there from the start?
It seems like you (Mastodon) would be the best person to ask.
