Hi all!

Ted O'Connor recently proposed a new CSS function for the Images module to the 
CSS working group called image-set. The idea behind the feature is to allow 
authors to provide multiple variants of the same image at differing 
resolutions, and to allow the User Agent to choose the resource that is most 
appropriate at the time. We think this will be a great way to allow authors to 
specify high resolution resources for iPhone's retina display, and we imagine 
User Agents being able to choose different resolution resources when content is 
scaled or zoomed. There is some consensus on the list that a feature like this 
would be a good addition to CSS Images Level 4. Discussion is still ongoing 
about the exact syntax of the property, but we'd like to add an experimental 
implementation to WebKit; after all, such implementations often help guide 
features like this along.
