Please don't be dramatic; this is > embarrassingly simple. Often, solutions that can be considered “simple” for emitters of data externalize costs, burdening consumers – especially when “simple” prevents using off-the-shelf components like XML parsers (if a site returns JSON in a case where ATOM might suffice) or DOM structures. Usually, data is (way) more often consumed than generated. Can you elaborate how you would use Python's ElementTree (or a similar data structure) with srcset in an “embarrassingly simple” way? <http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html> -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp // erlehmann <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
