I am in agreement that the lack of CSS support renders most of these tips useless. For example, step #1 is indeed the standard way to specify stylesheets for different media types, and, if it worked, would be the best way to serve up specific stylesheets to handheld devices. Unfortunately, few mobile browsers support the "handheld" media type, including my Tungsten|T3's. In fact, no version of Web Pro 3.x, the default browser on the majority of Tungstens and (I believe) Zires, supports the handheld media type.
