[texhax] includegraphics and image scaling

[Mark Hale]

In my world if an application writes a file which simultaneously
asserts that the single image in that file is at 96dpi and at 72dpi,
the application is creating "incorrect" files. I think this means
that I live in a world where logic trumps bad programming.

Being a standard tool does not make you bug-free, it merely
gives you the political clout to compel others to deal with your
buggy software. I wouldn't personally be surprised if many of
the people involved with projects such as Xe(la)tex don't feel
particularly strongly motivated by attempts to wield
that clout.
