Well, you need to fetch the resource to get the information. Not the downloading is the problem nowadays, but the requesting of resources. With this keyword you can avoid requesting the image.

Right, this is part of the linked discussion on www-style. ... like -webkit-image-set but combined with image() seems more useful for me.

Oh you are right. In this case r- for prefixing the function!!!! The spec is in CR and should be implemented unprefixed. You may can add a compiler flag if you want to. IIRC you did not announce implementing image() on webkit-dev anyway.

You are absolutely right and I am wrong. Ditto for the other comments about the comma. Misunderstood the grammar.

Yes, see comment above.

I couldn't see it from the patch but trust you.

Damn pigheaded fellow! :D

Ok.
