because implementer feedback at the time it was drafted was
saying, “We don't want to implement this.”
So, given this is mostly a syntactic issue and we're basing
the syntactic model off of an existing feature, it's probably
not hugely unstable... but it would be best to post a message
to www-style asking the CSSWG to actually publish a spec and
solicit feedback prior to shipping, as we don't even have an
FPWD of css-images-4. :)
