Description
I'm attempting to use videos as a progressive enhancement by displaying an image initially and then lazy loading the video. I render the image separately to allow uploading and support lazy loading.
Even though I have set the poster to an empty string, the <img> is still being rendered. Can you please provide a way to prevent this?
Setting image_size to x0 results in a 404 error, which is what I want, but without the error.

Research direction
Start at the video_tag implementation and trace how an empty poster and image_size are handled when rendering the <img> element. Done means there is a way to suppress that element without producing the 404 behavior caused by image_size set to x0.
