Video and Sound have a source tag which I think IMG should have as well so that I as a web developer can have different image resources depending on things like the screen size or what the browser supports 67477 1 odinho 2012-05-08 13:27:43 +0000 There's some ongoing talk about it. You may find some info here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011May/thread.html#msg386 https://gist.github.com/2159117 http://www.w3.org/community/respimg/common-questions-and-concerns/ And probably some other places on the web too ;-) Why <img> hasn't got that is first and foremost just legacy. But now that we want something like it, it's harder to say how. (and with a HTTP-based solution, having it all in one progressive image, allowing to stop downloading that one when you don't want more, then img tag wouldn't have to be changed to have sources at all). 70167 2 contributor 2012-07-18 07:02:58 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17848 as part of operation convergence. 81711 3 robin 2013-01-21 15:59:15 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 81829 4 robin 2013-01-21 16:02:00 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 83031 5 eoconnor 2013-02-12 19:58:24 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
