    <thetext>Please re-name the &quot;Start&quot; state label in the srcset parsing algorithm to something less generic and more descriptive and specific; for example, &quot;Collecting descriptors&quot; or &quot;Collecting descriptor tokens&quot; or &quot;Descriptor start&quot; or &quot;In descriptors&quot; or &quot;Token start&quot; or something.

I think the name &quot;Start&quot; on its own in this context is slightly misleading, because it&apos;s not actually the start of parsing of an individual image candidate string nor even the start of parsing of the descriptors part of the image candidate string. &quot;Start&quot; makes it sound like a point—and it&apos;s not a point but a state (and it&apos;s even state the the parsing algorithm actually *finishes* in for each image-candidate string).

I realize the state names could all really just be opaque strings—so this is just a nit—but if you&apos;re going to the trouble of giving them descriptive names to begin with, they at least shouldn&apos;t be potentially misleading to implementors.</thetext>
