<h1>WebP content images via <picture></h1>
<p>So far, not many browsers support the <code>picture</code> element. That will change, in time. The one browser engine that does have support on by default is Blink.</p>
<p>Blink-based browsers also supports WebP, an image format with better compression than JPEG, for example.</p>
<p>The image above is around 304Kb in JPEG (non-optimized, as-is off <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg">Wikipedia</a>). The WebP version is around 119Kb.</p>
<p>The picture element is not just for "squishy images" and the art direction use-case. It also does content-type checking, and will pick a <code>source</code> element if the <code>type</code>-attribute matches.</p>
<p>Since everyone else would fall back to the <code>img</code> element, this should work as a technique for introducing WebP support. There should be no need for the involved wrapping of <code>source</code> elements with the <code>video</code> tag etc for IE compat, since IE doesn't support WebP anyway, etc.</p>
<p>Some browsers <em>with</em> WebP-support will miss out (notably Android WebKit-browsers and Opera Mini), but hey, if fallback solution complexity is what's holding you back, maybe this is a way to start? No JS, no hacks, just plain built-in progressive enhancement.</p>
