Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Request to review Image Decode API (#182)

Taken up at the London F2F.

We can definitely see the usecases for this, and this seems like a pretty useful addition (being able to fetch and pre-decode the image before it has been attached to the document, and perform this decoding process outside of the main thread) to the platform.

The main concern we have is something that @dbaron mentioned above - and that is the fact while this is API is useful, we are wondering if this is working around limitations on the primitives we have available in the web platforms.

A small nit would be that the naming doesn't quite do what it suggest it does - and in the event we get an actual image decode API we would have allocated the name slot for this.
