The closest we could come to a neutral filtering system is an easily accessible on/off switch for images.
Interestingly, this proposal has come up many times completely separate to the issue of image filtering. Many users, particularly those on dial-up systems or those whose billing is related to the amount of data accessed have asked for this ability for some time. For them it is a performance/cost issue, and has nothing to do with filtering. Given some of the arguments that have been made in opposition to filtering, particularly those that seem to focus on "the content should be displayed in the way the authors intended", I'm concerned there would be equally significant opposition to even this simple matter.
