 The wp_head() function generates invalid HTML5 when adding an external CSS
 file created by a plugin.

 Below is the code generated by wp_head() using the GD Star Rating plugin:
 {{{
 <link rel='stylesheet' id='gdsr_style_main-css'
 href='http://localhost/blog/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-
 rating/css/gdsr.css.php?t=1271711028&amp;s=a05i05m20k20c05r05%231624%2324%23s1poxygen%23lsgflower%23lsgfountain%23lsg&amp;o=off&#038;ver=1.8.8'
 type='text/css' media='' />
 }}}

 The plugin author insists this is a problem with Wordpress, not with the
 plugin.

 The relevant error according to http://validator.w3.org/check:
 "One or more media queries, combined in a comma-separated list. Each media
 query consists of a media type and zero or more expressions that check for
 the conditions of particular media features. A media type is one of the
 following: all, braille, embossed, handheld, print, projection, screen,
 speech, tty, or tv. Note: The aural media type is deprecated. For
 information about valid media features and about the exact syntax of media
 queries, see the Media Queries specification."

 This can be corrected by, for example, changing the default value for
 media from empty (media=' ') to 'screen' (media='screen').
