    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...
