Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2015-07-15 08:36:31 UTC 
The spec says "The attribute's missing value default is user-agent defined, though the Metadata state is suggested as a compromise between reducing server load and providing an optimal user experience."

It should say the same for "invalid value default", as preload="banana" will correspond to *some* internal state, and it's most sane if it's the same as the missing value default.
