Re: aspect ratio as an attribute

Hi Guys,

I would just like to say many thanks for your efforts in developing the
Picture Element.  There is a saying let the data tell its story.  And that
is exactly what the Picture element does with images. Best of all there is
no aspect, if you have to deal with variable image dimensions, it is a
godsend.  Thanks.

Merry Christmas to you all.

>From a very appreciative developer.
