Well, normally you would link a stylesheet link with the media type set to
'screen' for your computer-based output (or 'screen,projector' or 'all'
depending on your circumstances etc) and then link to another with the media
type set to 'handheld' for your PDA/mobile styles. However, IE on Windows
Mobile will use 'screen' over 'handheld', thus negating 'handheld' styles
... unless you capitalise 'Screen'. Don't ask me why it works, but it does.
Doesn't seem to affect anything else either, which is good.
