No, this is not the case. All new features are being moved into
HTML.next unless the WG agrees to integrate them into HTML5. At this
point I believe the general consensus is simply that adaptive images
are a new feature and therefore there will be no solution in HTML5.
The solution will be deferred to HTML.next.

In the end, browser implementations are what counts. So, hopefully we
will get browsers to agree on one mechanism before standardising it
for HTML.next.
