I'm sorry, I don't recall this occurring.  Can you point me back to
your suggestions?

And the speed at which Images 4 advances is solely a function of what
implementors want to implement.  If there are individual features,
like image-rendering, which are being implemented and which people
would appreciate being in a higher-maturity-level draft, let me know
and I can kick them back to Images 3 (and do a quick LC->CR cycle) as
appropriate.

Never let concerns over spec levels dictate what you want to do.  We
can work around anything.
