Is that the case for <picture> as well? It doesn't seem to match examples.

How is interpreted source without media? (media="all"? media="none"?)


http://www.w3.org/community/respimg/2012/03/07/14/

<picture alt="Alt tag should accurately describe the image represented by  
all sources, though cropping and zooming may differ.">
  <source src="mobile.jpg" /> <!-- Matches by default. -->
  <source src="high-res.jpg" media="min-width: 800px" /> <!-- Overrides the  
previous source over 800px before any assets are fetched, resulting in a  
single request. -->
  <img src="mobile.jpg" /> <!-- Fallback content, in the event the  
<picture> tag is completely unsupported by the user’s browser. -->
</picture>

In that case I'd expect <source src="mobile.jpg"> to always match and  
<source src="high-res.jpg"> be impossible to use.
