Description Marcos Caceres 2012-12-03 15:28:52 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #20175 +++

The img@srcset solution lacks a means to programmatically interface with image resources, as well as access relevant attributes and methods that make the solution practical to work with (i.e., it shouldn't require Regex or nested loops to manipulate values).

See: https://gist.github.com/9f3ced6a91d7390b080d
