Could you outline example code that would exhibit this problem, while
accounting for the usual problems in this area, like user style sheets
that set a minimum acceptable font size that is larger than the font
size specified in author style sheets, or downloadable fonts being un-
available due to network problems? It seems odd to me that whatever is
used to address those problems would fail when image sizes become un-
predictable in the manner you describe.
