I don't think so. The spec I've read about the attribute 'lowsrc' of the
<img> tag
says it only works with N2 or later. Not IE, neither Opera (don't know of
the others).
The source was "Webmaster in a Nutshell" by Stephen Spainhour & Valerie
Quercia from
O'Reilly Books (I suggest this book for everyone. It's ISBN: 1-56592-229-8)
and http://www.willcam.com/res-html.html

Nevertheless your Javascript suggestion it's the best bet on this situation,
despite
the fact that it only works with HTML4 compliant browsers.
