Currently live I'm specifying the Chick skin's style as a handheld variant for MonoBook. This in theory will only be picked up by browsers which ignore the 'screen' style already
In practice this is *not* the case. As far as I'm aware, Opera's handheld variants will respect handheld stylesheets if present, and if not, they'll try to use screen stylesheets (with clever modifications to get them to work better). We used to have a handheld stylesheet, but someone from Opera asked us to either improve it or get rid of it, because it wasn't well-tested and ended up looking worse on Opera for handhelds than the screen stylesheet. (I deleted it.) The same probably applies to at least some other handheld browsers that try to use screen stylesheets where available.
