Attribute "lowsrc" of "html:img" is non-compliant?

["Karr, David" <da...@attws.com>]

What is the "lowsrc" attribute of the "html:img" tag?  Is that supposed to render a lower-precision version of the image?  This attribute is not defined in the HTML 4.01 spec.  I don't even find this in the description at <http://www.htmlhelp.com> which often lists some attributes that it states are browser-dependent.

The focal point in this real-life adventure is what I have come to think
of as "the dreaded LOWSRC." LOWSRC is an attribute, an HTML extension
supported by Netscape Navigator as part of the IMG tag. It allows a
low-resolution image to load as a visual placeholder while the rest of
the page is downloaded, and then IMG overwrites it with the
higher-resolution SRC file. In code, it looks like this in an example
from Netscape's Web site:
