I think the usages of a such menu entry are to low.
They maybe just
agglomerate the menu.
An autodetect based on the user agent would be IMO more practical and would
serve its purpose.
I think it's bad If I'm in "mobile" mode and I have to search 5 minute
for
the menu with "mobile" entry just to swithc my view. It should be
autodetect.
And if it's autodetect ... then why have a "unpractical" menu entry?
I share the same opinion. I see this display mode more like a preference
in the user profile or a URL parameter (auto detect + a way to force it
if needed).

On one hand, this behaves differently than the other 3
entries in the
Display menu.
On the other hand, this is not something you DO with the document
(like rename or delete), but a different way of displaying it, thus I
strongly think it doesn't belong to the Actions menu, and I moderately
believe that it belongs in the Display menu. > About the Display option, I think that would
be great. Do you also plan
on
adding an
autodetect based on the user agent?
Kind of, stylesheets already have a
"media" attribute that specifies
for which type of device it should be used. The display menu will just
"force" one of the stylesheets to be used, regardless of the current
media, something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all or print"

this.
I don't know either, but I'm slightly inclined towards "Display".

See my remarks above. Great idea overall.
