We’d need use cases to understand what would make a useful set of hints. Unless we have strong use cases for this, I’d propose we’ll close the issue #22 [1] now and revisit it later as needed.

@accept hint of the <input> comes to my mind when I try to think of precedence on the web platform. Depending on the UA, the following is supposed to open up a file picker dialog which makes it easier to pick images from the file system (falling back to no filter applied if the UA does not understand @accept):

<input type="file" accept="image/*”>

Another similarish attempt is @type on the <source> in which the MIME type as well as the preferred codec can be defined so that the UA can optimize by fetching the media resource it is likely able to understand. I believe this design has its issues though.

Thanks,
