Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2013-10-16 11:15:52 UTC 
In this proposal, what should currentSrc return?
Comment 2 Robert O'Callahan (Mozilla) 2013-10-21 05:02:51 UTC 
currentSrc returns the empty string.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-09-26 21:11:00 UTC 
media.srcObject exists now. Reassigning to zcorpan to consider this for <img>.
Comment 4 Simon Pieters 2014-09-29 10:06:33 UTC 
mozSrcObject is not implemented on <img> in Gecko. Is there impl interest for <img>?
Comment 5 Robert O'Callahan (Mozilla) 2014-09-29 12:22:27 UTC 
AFAIK it's not a priority at the moment but it seems like a logical thing to implement at some point.
Comment 6 Philip Jägenstedt 2016-02-01 02:33:18 UTC 
Updated title to reflect current state.
