I'm starting a new thread about the @type attribute, as requested by Adrian Roselli. I believe it is critical that we REQUIRE browsers to SKIP source elements which have an unrecognized (or unsupported) mime-type value in the @type attribute. Otherwise, we will not be able to introduce to formats and simplify <picture> in the future. @type should be an OPTIONAL attribute, not required, but if present, browsers should handle it in a specific way. Widely supported formats like jpeg, png, and gif do not need a type="" attribute, but webp and future formats do. This will allow us to introduce new image formats in a backwards-compatible manner. -Nathanael Jones
