Are they really requested automatically even if the user has automatic
image viewing turned off, or is using Lynx? I realize these are unusual
circumstances in this day, but it might be simplistic to say they're
automatically fetched.
That being said, I can't determine any _better_ generalization, and this
seems to be the only case in which prefetching might be good for the
majority of users, if performance and fairness issues are worked out.
