Explicitly specifying the * in *x allows more flexibility in the future for cases such as: - If sometime most displays will have 2x or higher resolutions, authors might want to set 1x versions aside. - If 3x or whatever displays should occur, the spec should be suitable for them, too. - Some UAs might decide to progressively load sources in order to emulate what we know from interlaced GIFs. Authors could for this purpose add 0.5x and even 0.25x versions.
