In my eyes the real question is that comes after this one - once you 
know it (you can inject it into the context even today), what do you do 
with it? If it is going to be used for content selection, it seems to be 
just the underpinning of what also was Alans proposal a little while 
back. I would be averse to using OS/platform name selector just as a 
surogate for testing feature/component availability (as it would work 
conveniently only as far as there is just "one" device or configuration 
for that OS/platform).

Best regards,
Attila
