Image fadeDuration property

react-native has an android only property fadeDuration that adds a fade-in effect to images while they load.

This is set by default to 300ms leading to an unexpected inconsistency across platforms.

the issue was discussed here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10194

where was decided to add a prop to control it, but not removing the default value to avoid breaking changes.

I'm wondering what is the position on the topic from the react-strict-dom POV. Should the createStrictImage force it to 0 and let the optional animation be handled by css transition polyfills?

If not, how can the behavior be overridden? In react-native the fadeDuration property can be used to reset to 0 when needed, but not being a valid web API is not allowed in html.img (as well as possibly creating conflicts with transitions and/or animations)

Start by locating the createStrictImage entry point and read the linked react-native discussion about fadeDuration. Determine and document the intended cross-platform behavior and how an override should work without relying on the nonstandard html.img property. Done means the project has a decided, implementable approach with its expected image-loading behavior clarified.
