I think the larger meta-issue (which is on css-values, rather than 
specific to css-images) is

[css-values] Define crossorigin, preload and async URL modifiers
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1603

Doing so would improve css-images, also css-fonts (downloaded webfonts) 
and css-color (downloaded color profiles) and in general any css spec 
that needs preload, or cross-origin control, or async loading.

We have previous discussion, which does give us an extension point but 
doesn't yet solve the issue:

 > RESOLVED: Unknown <url-modifier>s get silently ignored (rather than 
invalidating the function).

Working on the assumption that the css-text issues this week will take 
most of the hour, I have agenda+ on #1603 for next week. Although, I may 
have trouble attending that one (flying to Frontend United in Amsterdam 
that day).

But I think #1603 is key to a set of related issues

Amelia found two related issues and I found 3 more, plus #3659, which 
would all be solved by #1603.
