Not *quite*.  In the case of list-style-image, an image with no
intrinsic dimensions and no intrinsic ratio should be given a size of
1em by 1em, which happens to be precisely what my change still allows.

My suggested change was a minimum-edit suggestion to achieve what I
wanted, which was just to prevent an image with one intrinsic
dimension from triggering on rule 3.

I admit that it's not clear that my change has the effect I wanted,
given that I was complaining about the forced 1:1 ratio and my
suggested change still applies a 1:1 ratio.  I suggest following my
second suggestion instead, of replacing the rules list.  ^_^
