I _believe_ there is an emerging way in HTML to do this, where you **specify alternate URLs for different, higher pixel density images** and the device uses the correct one rather than blindly serving up 4x larger images to everyone.

That’d be preferable, so my desire here is to wait and see that be more widely supported.
