Response from the Working Group
================================
CSS, in our estimation, can refer to both of the newly added styling methods
mentioned in the description. Even when added via script, the background
image property is still a CSS property, as are properties included in the
style attribute.

We would prefer to include CSS in the title, as opposed to the more generic
title suggested in the comment, so that readers will quickly understand
which specific methods of adding images are in fact a failure.

The suggested title in the comment, i.e. not using the img tag, might then
have to be expanded to include input elements of type image at the very
least, perhaps other elements as well, thus rendering the title verbose.
