And how would that happen?

1) iOS loads the full site, displays it in reader mode?

2) Some server (Apple's?) fetches the site, strips it down to reader mode, iOS fetches it from that server?

#1 requires downloading the full site. #2 is just using an old "reformat pages for mobile" proxy.

Option one doesn't require downloading all the images backgrounds and and videos and other stuff until it's been determined that that should actually be displayed by reader mode.
