Bruce, do you think, instead of implementing lazyload and postpone in the HTML, it would be wiser if browsers implement the functions client-end so the user can define and control the size of images that would be lazy and/or postponed load?
Example browser option: ‘If there are large images on a page each greater than 100 KB in size, display placeholder only’ similar to what Gmail does with the option ‘Display images’?
Please check the ‘Resource Priorities’ link. It seems to link to this very same page :))
