--- Comment #17 from Tsui <t...@gmx.at> ---
@C. Scott Ananian: "since the existing assumptions that images are a certain
size/fixed width/etc are rather hostile to mobile and PDF/print rendering"

This is exactly what your change will result in.
Authors from many different Wikimedia projects resp. Wikipedia language
versions have relied on *one* standard width for images set with the parameter
"thumb" until now. Now you have destroyed the layout of millions of articles
because there is no more security how images are displayed. So people will
start to use fixed widths set in pixel again (which we abandoned many years
ago).

If you want to develop a semantic markup for the future that's fine. But right
now this change of the display of images is a desaster - and it is unwanted by
*any* user (=wikipedia author) who commented on it in the past days. I could
not find a single user/author who welcomes it.
