Re: New responsive images proposal

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but the use of media queries in the
src attribute brings up an interesting question: Why don't we just let
the src attribute be specified by CSS?

<img alt="A cat" src="default-cat.jpeg" class="cat" />

img.cat {
    @media (max-width: 600px) {
        src: "smaller-cat.jpeg";
    }
    @media (max-width: 400px) {
        src: "even-smaller-cat.jpeg";
    }
}
