I don't mind either way, but this seems a bit more noisier and less
compact.
<source> can be an option for authors who prefer separate attributes.
I’m still digesting the overall proposal, but regarding the media-*
and src-* attributes, my main concern would be limiting ourselves by
prescribing a set number of sizes (e.g. "small," "medium," and
"large") when in reality there may be more nuance in art direction
than that. might accommodate.
That is only partially true because this is just a proposal by me which
can easily be changed to another not limiting syntax…
But nevertheless you might not have more than 9 different file-sizes,
right? This is what is covered by mine (xxxs, xxs, xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl,
xxxl).
I initially presumed that any name could be used, similarly to data-*,
e.g. src-foobar="" media-foobar="". However, that doesn't imply any
ordering (attributes don't have order by definition), and that complicates
source selection algorithm.
In that case I think the syntax with separated attributes is less clear
than a microsyntax in a single attribute — list in a single attribute has
obvious ordering and doesn't rely on an ordered set of predefined names.
