Sorry, I forgot to clarify this ¡ª I had in mind adding width/height on each <source> element, not on <picture>.

I wonder if simply adding `width` and `height` attributes on the element (similar to `img`) might solve this, in the event that the author wants to rely on an intrinsic size instead of CSS?

Even if setting the size explicitly affected intrinsic size rather than size computed via style, it would miss the point of intrinsic size, which is that images get automatically the right amount of space based on the image itself. Auto-sizing may not be the right choice for all designs, but it is for some designs.
