This was also discussed a bit on IRC a while ago: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20081027#l-302 The response seemed to be that <a href=large><img src=small></a> already exists as a way for browsers to let you click on a small image and see a large one, and that if you want a fancy custom effect then you can use a JS library to do it, and there isn't any clear advantage in having browsers or standards change to explicitly support the feature. (Those JS libraries could use <img src=small data-fullsize=large> in HTML5, but should probably instead use <a href=large class=fullsize><img src=small></a> so that it degrades nicely in non-scripted UAs.) -- Philip Taylor pjt47@cam.ac.uk
