#2I like the concept, but the syntax feels awkward, clunky and very specific.
Why not repurpose the media attribute from style tags to all other tags?

#3I think lots of informal URLs consist U+002C COMMA character (,)
Why not ? Is this against SGML syntax?

#4> "2x" means "maximum pixel density of 2 device pixels per CSS pixel"
I don't understand why that's maximum pixel density and not minimum pixel density.
If I'm using a super-retina device with 4x pixel density, surely it's better for me to get the 2x image than the default (presumably 1x) image?

That is against sgml syntax, yes.
There must be at least one height / width / pixel density descriptor for each url, so if you see a comma before the url ends, you know it must be part of the url.

The algorithm actually picks the resource you would expect there so that is a bug in the note. Filed a bug:

Because it is way more verbose and does not address the pixel density case.

But pixel density is a property of the media, which should be dealt with by media queries.

Why not like the video-tag
...
Or something like that.
