FWIW, I'm actually not at all questioning whether to honor that attribute.
 The spec is clear that it *should* be honored on <image> tags.

The <image> height/width attributes both default to 0, so authors *have*
to specify them both.  The fact that an author "goes to the trouble of
specifying both"  only signifies that he/she wants a nonzero-size image.
:)  It doesn't necessarily signify any desire to distort the image.
