This also affects the steps taking away entries from the candidates based on width and height.

Spec currently says:

> If there are any entries in candidates that have an associated width
> that is greater than max width, then remove them, unless that would
> remove all the entries, in which case remove only the entries whose
> associated width is greater than the smallest such width.

I believe it should say:

> If there are any entries in candidates that have an associated width
> that is equal to or less than max width, then remove them, unless that would
> remove all the entries, in which case remove only the entries whose
> associated width is greater than the smallest such width.

And equally for height.

Comment 1 Edward O'Connor 2012-09-06 18:40:47 UTC 
Moving this to HTML.next as <img srcset> is not in HTML5.

Adding a dependency on 18384 so we remember to pull this back into HTML5 if we need to.
Comment 2 Edward O'Connor 2012-10-11 22:47:02 UTC 
Moving srcset="" bugs from HTML.next to the new component for the srcset="" spec.
