What authors _can_ do and user agents _cannot_ do is describe their

Indeed. An interesting use-case has come up on this list — use
highest-resolution image when user chooses "Save As".
While it's not an earth-shattering feature, it's a nice touch a browser
could do having information about image. It wouldn't be possible/sensible
to do with a media query.
Even if there was support for something like <source
media="user-action:save-as">, I can bet that less than 0.5% of pages would
use it and do it correctly.
