With all the extremely complex features being added to HTML, one would expect a simple attribute on an image to delay loading until it is visible. E.g.:
<img lazy="visible" src="image.png">
This image would load only when it is inside the current visible area, and not earlier (so if the user doesn't scroll down to the image, then the user agent never loads it).
