No support for recognizing srcset at all has been added to the validator.
That's mostly intentional, because as far as I know, there are no browsers
that support it yet. Even if we were to have the validator recognize srcset
at all at this point, it would be just in order to emit a warning message
that basically says, "Don't use the srcset attribute, because it's not
supported by browsers yet."
