We have two definitions of “large” being used, one with regard to file size and one with regard to dimensions, so clarity is key.

1. I competely agree, so long as we’re talking solely about large _dimensions_. Resizing and compressing uploaded gifs seems _reasonable_ if it’s done to save bandwidth and storage space.
2. I thought this was already done automatically? I’ve always seen dimensions added to my image markup. The problem is that they’re being (as you put it) munged server-side based on those dimensions. (Or maybe not based on those dimensions… I haven’t looked at the code for that.)
3. Agreed, on all counts.
