Making this an early return to avoid even looking the attribute would be nice.

[DaleCurtis, 2015/09/30 16:18:19]

I didn't do that so that we could keep the use counters for the attribute.

[philipj_slow, 2015/10/01 09:49:06]

Hmm, good point, but if they're counted without being used it might be
misleading. I suggest instead adding a
UseCounter::HTMLMediaElementPreloadNoneDueToConnectionType or similar.
