The height/width stuff makes this very much a pixel-storage-based kind
of picture, and doesn't ideally describe a vectorized image, like say an
svg, where there might be no "natural" size in terms of pixels.

How do you intend to handle these? (Just pretend that they have some
size is one answer, I'm just wondering if you've thought about this
case.)
