+/**
+ * This interface represents a content node that loads images. The interface
+ * exists to allow getting information on the images that the content node
+ * loads and to allow registration of observers for the image loads.
+ *
+ * Implementors of this interface should handle all the mechanics of actually
+ * loading an image -- getting the URI, checking with content policies and
+ * the security manager to see whether loading the URI is allowed, performing
+ * the load, firing any DOM events as needed.
+ *
+ * An implementation of this interface may support the concepts of a
+ * "current" image and a "pending" image. If it does, a request to change
+ * the currently loaded image will start a "pending" request which will
+ * become current only when the image is loaded. It is the responsibility of
+ * observers to check which request they are getting notifications for.
+ *
+ * Please make sure to update the MozImageLoadingContent WebIDL
+ * mixin to mirror this interface when changing it.
