Is it really?
With a simple key=value pair, I can:
$src = trim($node->getAttribute('src');
Then I can check it - if it is relative, I can change it to reference
the cdn. If it is not local, I can check to make the domain is valid,
check the domain is not in our black list, etc. and then replace the src
node with the cleaned version.
With srcset - I can still do that but then becomes more complex as there
is an initial array that then has to be exploded into secondary arrays
etc. and more complicated code is more prone to bugs.
What happens if one of the sources has a typo involving a space, e.g.
Big Image.jpg 2x
instead of
Big%20Image 2x
With key=value that's easy to fix, but it is more complicated when a
space is a delimiter in an array that is a sub-array.
key=value is kiss and kiss has a lot of benefits.
