That might work, as long as the peer stores a bit-exact copy of the
transcoded image. Once it changes something, we are back to the original
problem: the checksum will no longer match and we can't decide between
"image was intentionally changed" and "ignore unintentional change".

I haven't checked what phones do; at least some SyncML servers convert
images, as far as I remember.
