Should we think about CSS media other than screen and print? http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
all
Suitable for all devices.
braille
Intended for braille tactile feedback devices.
embossed
Intended for paged braille printers.
handheld
Intended for handheld devices (typically small screen, limited bandwidth).
print
Intended for paged material and for documents viewed on screen in print preview mode. Please consult the section on paged media for information about formatting issues that are specific to paged media.
projection
Intended for projected presentations, for example projectors. Please consult the section on paged media for information about formatting issues that are specific to paged media.
screen
Intended primarily for color computer screens.
speech
Intended for speech synthesizers. Note: CSS2 had a similar media type called 'aural' for this purpose. See the appendix on aural style sheets for details.
tty
Intended for media using a fixed-pitch character grid (such as teletypes, terminals, or portable devices with limited display capabilities). Authors should not use pixel units with the "tty" media type.
tv
Intended for television-type devices (low resolution, color, limited-scrollability screens, sound available).
is there any practical benefit for other media items? or all others ( other than Screen and Print")
what are benefits to use other media types?
Well, if you support accessibility devices, speech and braille can be very useful very quickly. The majority of sites don't support these; you'd perhaps be better served by making an alternative text-only site that could display well in lynx, for example.
