Hello Developers,

Images are not interpolated when resized by HTML

An option to resize images with a better algorithm like Lanczos would improve the browsing experience.

Thank you for your attention

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a HTML to resize an image far from its original size and open it in Firefox.
Actual Results:  
The image will not be renderd nicely

Expected Results:  
A grear browser, like Firefox, should render the resized image smoothly

Good results could be achived by using algorithms like:

Lanczos (hard to compute, but shows best results)
Cubic
Linear (very quick)

FWIW trunk builds with cairo go some way to improving this.
