The fact that some of those use case are not *yet* met is not from a lack of trying on both sides and certainly not grounds to block publication - some use cases were poorly articulated, wishful thinking, or just invalid. The point of the FPWD _is_ to help us move forward and to see if there is support for either or both approaches. We don't expect to a have a complete solution as of FPWD - in fact, we know there are many problems with both proposed solutions. Fred, you clearly know what you are talking about here (technically, probably more than I do and I both implemented a version of srcset and co-wrote <picture>). Can I please ask you to remove your objection and work with us constructively. Blocking publication of either spec does not help the specs get the wider review they need. All your issues can be, and should be, addressed after we publish. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-respimg/2012Nov/0024.html -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
