[whatwg] Default value of "complete" attribute on new Image objects

The current HTML5 specification says:
"The IDL attribute complete must return true if the user agent has
fetched the image specified in the src attribute, and it is in a
supported image type (i.e. it was decoded without fatal errors), even if
the final task queued by the networking task source for the fetching of
the image resource has not yet been processed. Otherwise, the attribute
must return false." [1]
This reads to me as if a "new Image()" should have complete=false
No browser currently does this AFAIK. I've posted a patch to implement
this behavior in WebKit here:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41898
Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Anything that might break?
Reasons it's currently defaulting to true?
