Other information

We have implemented several of the features in Media Queries Level 5: prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-color-scheme, and most recently, prefers-contrast (as announced Monday).

In general Media Queries Level 5 has several accessibility enhancing features and thus we should consider an overall status of "important".

Label: w3c.

I think it may be preferable to add entries for particular features in this specification (or maybe groups of features, if there are clear groups) than for the specification as a whole. I say that both because I think the granularity of our standards-positions should probably match the granularity at which we would choose to (or not to) implement features, and because I think it's possible the scope of mediaqueries-5 may change over time (either due to additional new features being added or to features being moved between levels).

Closing in favor of taking a position on #393 instead.
