I'm a developer, and I don't find it difficult or confusing at all.
Manipulating XML-like data with bits of information spread across elements
is definitely a pain.
Given `srcset="img2.jpg 2x 300w, img3.jpg 600w 2x"`, I can only envision a

That's simple.
// img.srcsetList[0].path == "img2.jpg"
// img.srcsetList[0].density == 2
// img.srcsetList[0].width == 300
// img.srcsetList[0].height == null
// img.srcsetList[1].path == "img3.jpg"
// img.srcsetList[1].density == 2
// img.srcsetList[1].width == 600
// img.srcsetList[1].height == null
img.srcsetList.push(new SrcSetItem({path: "img4.jpg", width: 1200}));
img.srcsetList.splice(1); // and other array operations

"Fractal complexity"? Please don't be dramatic; this is embarrassingly
simple.
