Three months ago, I was looking for some icons to use in our projects. I noticed that Wikipedia had already output <img srcset> and I tweeted "Just realized Wikipedia supports srcset="". Nice Job!". I just realized an hour ago that this feature is not even on in any of the shipped browser by default (it is under a runtime flag in Chrome), and I yelled "Fuck!". I am in the process of reading the srcN spec, and I noticed that folks seem to prefer it to srcset in general. What do we do? 1) Let it be (ie. do nothing, which means that it adds a lot more validation errors if srcN obsoletes srcset[1], but I doubt many care.). 2) Tell Wikipedia to stop. 3) Amend the srcN spec to include srcset as deprecated feature. Thoughts? Pushing a browser feature by contributing to MediaWiki seems like an odd idea IMHO.
