On: Using SVG as image placeholders

[BHSPitMonkey]

I think they mean, could you inline the first 10%, and then lazy-load the other 90% (taking advantage of the FLIF decoder's progressive rendering). Which I would have to imagine is a "no" (you would have to swap your 10% placeholder with a whole 100% remote version).

Currently, browsers don't support FLIF at all. If they ever do support it, what you're suggesting could be an excellent feature to add.

That's what I thought. I wonder what the advantage is at that point, over using, say, an inline jpg for the low quality version.
