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; }
