RE: Display Property Suggestion

In regards to this extension suggestion:

Can <uri>? be replaced with:

 [[<uri>, ]*  [missing | <some other defaults> | none]]?

to handle MIA replaced content?  This would be a parallel construction
to how cursors are handled:

	[18.1] If the user agent cannot handle the first cursor of a
list of cursors, it
	should attempt to handle the second, etc. If the user agent
cannot handle
	any user-defined cursor, it must use the generic cursor at the
end of the list.

As a side effect, developers could implement their own custom 'broken
image', 'broken object' icons.

The above would become:

    img:before { display: inline url(attr(src)), url("mia.png"),
missing; content: attr(alt); 
                 width: auto; height: auto; }
