I thought we may have touched it. That makes sense. Though I didn’t
instantly think of the user style sheet one-liner  would be
begging for.

Is it really the responsibility of HTML to be told about this? I wouldn't

Yeah! Ideally a browser (or client) should be able to request the meta 
information for a image (if available), this would probably be better 
suited as part of HTTP/2.
Instead of a HEAD request a client could do a META request which would 
be the same as a HEAD request but with all meta info the server can 
provide about the file (like lens/ISO etc. info).
Server side something like Apache could let a handler fetch that info 
from a JPG file (maybe even a caching proxy to speed things up). A 
key:value pair would make sense I guess (with maybe a Meta- prefix).
But yeah in HTML itself such would just really bloat up the HTML page 
itself (and one could always use AJAX and serverside scripting or 
similar to fetch such meta info).

Yup, that's about the size of it, and why the proposal was rejected.

Probably. What specific purposes would it serve?

The most obvious way of utilizing such markup, assuming it were commonly 
used, would be to have


ad { display: none }

in a user style sheet. I think this suffices to show why such markup 
would not be used.

Has there ever been a discussion about a dedicated element for ads, like ?

I’d like to review or otherwise propose the element, for at least on
the surface, advertising may warrant dedicated markup.
