This makes sense.

However, there is still a potential use case for speed vs quality hints:
when the author wants to treat some content on the page as visually more
important than other content. For example, you might have a gallery page
with a bunch of unimportant bling around the actual image/canvas you care
about.

I'm unsure whether that's realistic enough to justify supporting hints.
