If JPEG XL actually delivers the ability to serve multiple screen sizes / resolutions from the same image as proposed in FUIF: https://cloudinary.com/blog/introducing_fuif_responsive_imag...

instead of requiring storing many copies of the same image for responsive design, that would be a godsend and would immediately convert me to JPEG XL for graphics on websites. I don’t want the complication of generating, storing, and serving the right image to the right client, there should be one image and clients should only download the amount they want.

But this still doesn't take away your need as webdev to specify the exact sizes for different screen/container dimensions and aspect ratios. The only difference is you don't have to generate several images and clutter your directories.

Couldn't JPEG2000 do that? I think it's more a question of if browsers will actually implement it.
