I'm not sure how best to solve this, but John Mellor suggested
allowing the specification of the image's native dimensions somehow.
That way, the browser could know that the 1600.jpg image is
appropriate to serve as an 800px wide high-dpi image, or a 1600px wide
low-dpi image.
John has a proposal here:
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-August/036958.html
e.g. '<img srcset="320x120, 320.jpg 1x, 640.jpg 2x, 1280.jpg 4x,
2560.jpg 8x">' . As I understand it John's proposal only declares the
image sizes and is not intended for making a selection based on density
or screen size directly?
If what's necessary here is to declare the intrinsic dimensions, why not
use the width="" and height="" attributes for this? (They can be
overridden with CSS if you want e.g. 100% width.)
