Sorry, but it doesn't seem sensible to me at all.

Firstly, it's currently not legal : media cannot self-nest.

Secondly, if they could, what would it mean? Surely, it would mean that 
the media was composed of several other media. Which is not the same at 
all as these several other media are alternatives for each other, which 
is the use case here as farv as I understand it.

We should create another grouping element, not misuse an existing one.
