This is what is covered by mine (xxxs, xxs, xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl, > xxxl). I initially presumed that any name could be used, similarly to data-*, e.g. src-foobar="" media-foobar="". However, that doesn't imply any ordering (attributes don't have order by definition), and that complicates source selection algorithm. In that case I think the syntax with separated attributes is less clear than a microsyntax in a single attribute — list in a single attribute has obvious ordering and doesn't rely on an ordered set of predefined names. -- regards, Kornel Lesiński
