Well, yes, I want to do progressive downloading and showing of images, with a chance to pause / stop the download. The use case is 3D virtual worlds, you download only enough of progressive image format to be able to show it at the current LOD for the 3D model it's attached to. In other words, if this particular image is only used as a texture around a model that is off in the distance, we only need to download enough of the image to be clearly visible at a distance. The closer we get, the more we need to download, since now you can see it clearer. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
