[css-images] lazyload

[Malvoz]

Hello CSSWG folks!

With no personal preference I ask you to consider CSS delegation for the lazyload loading attribute: whatwg/html#3752

The CSS Working Group just discussed lazyload.

<dael> Topic: lazyload
<dael> github: https://github.com//issues/3659
<dael> Rossen_: Ask from WHATWG. fantasai you want to introduce?
<dael> fantasai: Mostly I wanted to call attention to the thread to make sure we respond in a timely manner
<dael> Rossen_: Action for everyone to read up and engage in github. I'll add to agenda next week if not high response

Is this issue asking for a new mechanism that works like the lazyload attribute but which affects CSS images? (After skimming through the changes in the linked PR it doesn't look like it affects CSS images currently.)

Having read through the agonizingly long PR, the thing I think is being raised is on the Intent to Ship Google group here:

The resulting issue is that currently background images are not being loaded due to this change which is considered a bug and should be fixed prior to shipping per this comment.

Also it seems that @svgeesus pointed out that #1603 should be able to address this issue but it doesn't seem any modifiers (that I can currently find) have been defined, thus this won't be loaded lazily from what I can tell.

But... if that isn't the case it would be good to have clarification @Malvoz

<dael> Topic: lazyload
<dael> github: https://github.com//issues/3659
<dael> Rossen_: Don't know if gregwhitworth made it
<dael> gregwhitworth: I'm here
<dael> gregwhitworth: This isn't my issue, but I dug into what I think this person wanted that bg images weren't be loaded by lazyloading. I'm not sure what this person wanted so I suggest we close until more clarifiction. Chris pointed out there is already an issue from AmeliaBR about modifiers. I'd close as dup and ask for more details.
<dael> Rossen_: Close the issue back to the owner and ask for more details?
<dael> gregwhitworth: I pinged him and asked to clarify. I'd close as dup to the one Chris L referenced.
<dael> Rossen_: Any other members that read or want to discuss this?
<dael> Rossen_: If not we can do that
<dael> Rossen_: No hearing takers. I'll clear up the labels and move the issue back to the owner

whatwg/html#3752 has been merged and the feature is shipping in several browsers. Is it a good time to have another look at it in this WG?
