Indeed. I'm not sure which solution is the best:


- make descriptors optional only for the last URL (which will work fine  
for the case where only the 2x image is supplied)

srcset="a,b" is a single URL

srcset="a, b" is an invalid descriptor for a single URL

srcset="a 1x, b" is two URLs @1x and @2x


- parse trailing comma in URL as a separator and hope no URL scheme needs  
it :)

srcset="a,b" is a single URL

srcset="a, b" is two URLs

srcset="a,#, b" is two URLs, first one being "a,#".


- introduce some kind of escaping for commas in the URL part:

srcset="a,b" two URLs

srcset="a\,b" one URL "a,b"

srcset="a\\\, , \,b" two URLs "a\," and ",b"
