Good point. Still doesn't solve the video or animated image problem though. Also, does any browser actually do implement asynchronous scaling in this case? We definitely shouldn't add an API to work around the lack of another API, but there's also a difference between something theoretically being possible to implement, and it actually being doable enough to happen. / Jonas
