I believe the element that you're looking for is <picture>, which will be shipping with a future version of Chrome.

Ah right, thanks. I had been thinking that picture and srcset were competing.

They're complementary. <picture> uses subset of original srcset spec to meet the "resolution switching" use case - e.g. see Example 1 [1]. If you want to select an asset based on viewport width, then you'd either use "sizes" attribute on picture, or a combination of srcset + sources + sizes.
