Hi Karina, Kevin Newman deserves the credit, I've just written some of the code. Great work though, I'm very happy to have a little team working on this problem now. I'm sure we will solve it soon enough.
I think Geoff mentioned that display:none does not prevent the object from loading, Ryan further validates this by giving us a clear idea of how html documents function, so, we should continue under the assumption that if the object is defined in the original document then it will always load.
