Agreed. It would be easier on many levels to promote and support the browser use of a progressive-resolution image-file format rather than overhaul markup standards and load & store multiple image versions on servers.
Let's hope sanity and logic prevail, and this tag idea is dumped.
And I hope patent issues don't derail it also.
Further, we don't have to have an entirely new tag. Just add something like a LOWRES or LOWRESSRC attribute to the existing IMG tag. Old browsers would still use the regular image and ignore the new attribute. This is better backward compatibility than an entirely new tag. An entirely new tag would outright not function in older browsers. (The HTML standard says to ignore any attributes a browser does not recognize rather than skip the entire tag.)
In all seriousness, while it may create job security, many developers would rather spend their time making 20 useful products using write-once-run-everywhere rather than 5 useful products with multiple versions handcrafted for different devices.
It's kind of boring re-inventing the same app for different devices even if it does pay.
ACA only directly affects our country. The Iraq invasion directly affected two countries, and severely altered Iraq's history. War is a very big decision.
I am canadian, and if we are the most scientiically literate. I really pity the rest of you.
I pity us also. Does Canada have lots of relatively successful* politicians with whackadoodle opinions on climate change, Earth's age, and female reproductive biology?

LOWSRC has been renamed to the COMCAST attribute :-)

Job security, shhhhhhhh

Like oil company executives?
They should promote gayness to take up the slack.
Oh that Palin again.
They used my Comcast simulator without paying!
No wonder all the young men are all killing each other in the middle east: they have to live with ASCII porn.
God is Gates? No, no, no, that's gotta be downstairs.
AND making a profit at it. That's the diff between American busybodies and theirs.

I wish talk radio would omit Rush. He's made enough racist comments for 10 Mancows, yet never booted.
How about the Bridge to Nowhere?
I had a Gumby nightmare like that once.
What, you don't have the new iBrator?
Your post reminds me of this scene:

The problem with getting involved in Middle East wars is that usually both sides suck.
That's just a model of Camelot.

Stop stalking women and harassing them about how many are in IT or in Wikipedia or in Whogivesafuck.
Buggoff!
It's not like it's rocket science to get it right

* In terms of votes, not intelligence ranking.
There's a ROFL episode of Big Bang where a cast member is using a robot hand for "personal pleasure", when it locks up.
There goes my Intelligent Sliding theory. Now how am I gonna get chicks?
