> High quality progressive decoding at reduced filesizes is a big positive for me.

This is really cool!

Honestly, I want to use regular progressive JPEGs for a current project of mine, but it seems that even that doesn't have support in all the tech stacks yet despite how long it's been around for, for example: https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/issues/449

Here's hoping that in the case of JPEG-XL this will be more commonplace! In combination with loading="lazy", it would surely make the experience of scrolling through modern sites with lots of content a bit less data intensive.



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.
