Following some discussion regarding the src-N proposal[1] on the blink-dev[2] and webkit-dev[3][4] mailing lists, I think it's a good idea to move the discussion to a vendor neutral list, where all vendors can freely participate. To sum up the discussion so far: * The src-N proposal got the support of a few people in Blink, while some people there don't support it. * The WebKit community objects to the proposal and in particular to its multiple attribute nature. * There are signals from Mozilla that they're not interested in implementing srcset and they would prefer to implement src-N. [5] * The developer community and the RICG are rallying behind src-n, with work on <picture> being discontinued in favor of src-N. Most of the contention revolves around the fact that the src-N proposal uses multiple attributes, with some people preferring a "list of lists" micro-syntax inside a single attribute. Given the importance of this feature to the Web platform as a whole, it's fairly imperative that all stakeholders get a say - especially if syntax modifications are on the table.
