[chrisdavidmills]

Description

I noticed that the information on the HTML/SVG decoding attribute was somewhat lacking. This PR adds a bit more information and description, to make it clearer what it actually does.

Two more suggestions, based on my latest testing that there is a measurable (even if difficult to directly observe with the human eye) blocking with sync on all three browsers.

Will also let you know when my post on this is published in case you want to reference it (likely later this week).

LGTM! Thanks for updating, and for working through all the feedback. It bugged me for years that this attribute was so little understood. Hopefully between these updates and my recent blog post that you've linked here this will be better understood now.

Nice one @tunetheweb, I've enjoyed the collaboration on this one. It feels really good whenever you manage to fill in the blanks for a misunderstood web feature.
