label: Responsive Images

note: |
  These new elements display inline by default,
  but that's not the expected behavior for either one.
  This can interfere with proper layout and aspect-ratio handling.

  1. Remove the unnecessary wrapping `picture`, while maintaining contents
  2. Source elements have nothing to display, so we hide them entirely

label: Aspect Ratios

note: |
  Maintain intrinsic aspect ratios when `max-width` is applied.

  but have no intrinsic ratio,
  so their `height` needs to be set explicitly.

note: |
  There is no good reason elements default to 300px,
