yeah, you are very much at the mercy of the libs you use if you want full feature parity with, for example, libjpeg-turbo in the case of JPEG. In the browser where supported, I guess loading="lazy" probably already works (i havent tried). I think a more advanced version where you can choose maybe a "staged" loading type, or some mechanism to choose the pass/frame to pause the network activity at so that you can control it further via JS would be nice. At a minimum it would be a feature enabling a preview and a reduced download for the full version. I can see many usecases where that could be useful.
