Yes, thanks! I think this helps out in quite a few cases where we
otherwise would have a mismatch between the displayed image's size and the
shape drawn from the image data. I've added in a sentence to section 3.3
pointing to the whole Concrete Object Size Resolution section [1] as I
think we should be allowing for the cover and contain sizing steps as
well.

I would expect box-sizing to contribute to the specified size of the
element, so it would already be accounted for in the default sizing
algorithm.

Thanks,
