Hoi,
The library of Alexandria uses it for the display of their awesome
Napoleontic lithographs.. It would be awesome if we had that code.. It is
actually open source..
Thanks,
Gerard

That's what occurred to me. In that case,
the only possible thing to
do seems to be to just have the image request wait until the image is
thumbnailed. I guess you could show a placeholder image, but that's
probably *less* friendly to the user, as long as we've specified the
height and width in the HTML. The browser should provide some kind of
placeholder already while the image is loading, after all, and if we
let the browser provide the placeholder, then at least the image will
appear automatically when it's done thumbnailing.
There was a spec in earlier versions of HTML to put a low-res
thumbnail up while the full image dribbled through your dialup - <img
lowsrc="image-placeholder.gif" src="image.gif"> - but it was so
little
used (I know of no cases) that I don't know if it's even supported in
browsers any more.
