I think we have misunderstanding here.
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#image says,
that ``width`` parameter has as units “length or percentage of the
current line width”. It seems to me you think that percent means the
scaling factor. It doesn’t. rst2xetex does it perfectly well (see PDF I
have attached to one of the earlier emails to you).

Best,

and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.
