Well you'll have to excuse me, you seem clear enough of mind not to
have missed this: as we discussed image holders could be used in the
same way as using your browser to defer image downloads. The difference
would be that only some of the images would be deferred instead of all
of them.
It seems to me that which images are to be deferred would be decided by
someone other than the reader. This would probably compromise NPOV.
