Proposing content-hidden for background-image and img content. I'd like to see a new option: "visibility: content-hidden", such as, <img style="visibility: content-hidden; background: blue" /> Like visibility, the content is not rendered, but, background and border fills are. A lot of work has gone into background-* paint services. Recently, I used a transparent pixel and an image tag, for compatibility with other code. <img src="transparent.png" style="background-image: ..." /> I would have otherwise used a div. <div role="img" style="background-image: ..." /> My typical html-interop toolkit is visibility, display and opacity. They hide the background, so they don't work. This may help us maintain html semantics like <img> with greater ease. It's a slightly different type than the existing rendering types, it does require a little bit of work, but I hope, an incremental improvement, and worth the time. -Charles
