Description

As v.0.4.9, we need to specify a size for every type of screen even if the size is the same.
E.g. for an image that is always 100% of the screen : sizes="xs:100vw sm:100vw md:100vw lg:100vw xl:100vw 2xl:100vw"
If not, only the srcset of the specified screen will be generated.

We could automatically generate other srcset with a mobile-first rule.

For exemple:
If we specify only sizes="100vw", we loop through every screens size to generate appropriate srcset.
If we specify sizes="100vw xl:400px", we loop through every screens size under xl to generate srcset with screen width and then for xl and larger we generate 400px srcset.
etc

Would it make sense ?

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing sizes parsing and srcset generation entry points, then trace how values such as 100vw and xl:400px are handled. Done means mobile-first rules generate srcsets for every relevant screen size while preserving the explicitly specified breakpoint behavior, with tests covering the examples in the issue.
