It has many problems. It adds a level of indirection, it imposes constraints on where the resources are located and how they are named, it requires access to the <head> element for adding an image in a blog post, and it makes processing of URLs conditional on information provided elsewhere. These are all significant issues. I also do not see how it addresses the pixel density use case. You cannot use a media query for that because a media query queries the pixel density of the device, it does not *set* the pixel density of the resource. -- Anne — Opera Software http://annevankesteren.nl/ http://www.opera.com/
