yes !
I don't see any purpose.
"width" tag asures there will be no other resolution in client,
so it makes no sense to provide it.

why ?

I am using apache 2.0 handler with PHP Version 4.3.4 on SuSE 9.1 Linux.
GD Support enabled, GD Version bundled (2.0.15 compatible),
FreeType Support enabled, FreeType Linkage with freetype, T1Lib Support
enabled, JPG Support enabled

I'd like to provide pictures of some landmaps of 3700 x 4700 pixels size,
that is up to 5 MB jpg file size. I effectively want to transfer images
to the client in max 700 x 800 pixels resolution.
Also some 1000 x 1000 pixels photos are too big now. jpg files have 0.5MB,
and I'd like to transfer up to 100k for each picture.

I have a lot of such images, so I'd like to resize them on demand and keep
smaller versions somewhere in the servers cache. I'd like to omit any
macromedia, or other techniques with bigger ressource demands.
