Re: srcN - Alternative to picture and srcset

Personally, this looks like a huge improvement over existing proposals.

It combines picture art-direction handling (each srcN attribute is an
equivalent to picture's <source>), srcset's DPR switching (almost the same)
and new viewport switching syntax which has 2 main advantages over srcset's
viewport switching syntax: It is DRYer and enables relative units.

The attribute name part feels hacky, but it's something I can live with
both as a developer and as someone likely to implement this.

+1 from me.
