I understand, but this way we would not be able to say that all the div's
backgrounds in the page are supposed to load their images in the future!
That way, we would have to add that property to every single element that
has a background image!
Giving support to the first and third options, would at least help the "C"
of CSS :)
About redundant features, I think it is useful, when well applied, for
example:

.someElements{
    border: solid 3px green;
}
/* but images are different */
img.someElements{
    border-color: blue;
}
.someElements:hover{
    border-left-color: red;
}

These are redundant features, although, developers will always find useful
ways to use it.

About the Ads...there will possibly be companies paying less for ads that
are loaded after the main content...is it bad?
It would be better for users...browser (or plugins) could work with it
too(let's say, apply it to elements in all pages to save some network band)
and would allow Ad providers to offer different contracts and options.
