I agree that the core-image docs could be improved a little, as well as possibly some additional features. One useful feature to introduce might be a new attribute that forces the load/preload process to wait for the src image file to actually exist (perhaps with a mandatory timeout). This is useful when a separate server-side process is dynamically creating the image file(s) which you are trying to display. Not sure if there is a straightforward way to build that as a feature. I've done so in my polymer app with some extra javascript, but it would be a nice addition to the component.
Another thing I'm looking for is a way to force a refresh of the image (prevent loading it from the cache even when the src file location is the same). Anyone know if there is currently an easy way to do that with core-image? Keep up the good work polymer team!
