Then you might as well add the ability to control whether or not the document
should be loaded based upon whether or not image loading is on.

I think the user should be left in control, that is the person who can best
decide how things should be presented on the local setup. I think publishers
who insist on absolute control would soon find a loss of good will and thus
business. (Look at how upset people were about Netscape's background color
permanency.)

(If publishers really are concerned about how their stuff looks, then they
better darned well start checking it out on non-color displays. My office-mate
cannot read some of the Netscape controls on his monochrome monitor, for
example.)
