The "media-col" attribute (and associated collection syntax)
can be used with the "standard" names defined here.  Trying to
shoehorn everything into the media attribute just won't work,
and as much as I hate collections they seem to be the best
solution to this particular problem.

So, I would recommend to *not* add this kind of a proposal to
the current spec - it is WAY out of scope and would apparently
duplicate the work done for media-col without properly representing
other media attributes (weight, etc.) that may be needed...
