Yes, it is the intent; for cases where the width and height are
percentages, though, there is no fixed intrinsic size, just an aspect
ratio (or to put it another way, its up to the enclosing element or the
enclosing box to constrain the width and height so that a fixed size is
achieved).

Thanks for the kind words. The thing with last call comments is that
people rarely tell you what they like :) just what they don't.
