I think you might have missed my point.  If you don't specify the 
WIDTH and HEIGHT, the *placeholder* will be 8x8; once the image 
has actually loaded, it will display at its proper size, 
regardless.

Actually there's probably no need to go to that extreme; the 
existing caching is probably sufficient, it would just need to be 
modified to pay attention to the specified width and height once 
the image has actually loaded, and scale accordingly.

So I take it that nobody is relying on the existing behaviour..?
