@darin, @ap, @ddkilzer:

I would argue that iPhone being the only WebKit browser (and only browser, period) to respect EXIF hurts WebKit.  Consistency across platforms is one of the strengths of WebKit.

I think we should either lobby iOS to remove this feature, or we should make the rest of the WebKit ports agree.

The GMail team is very sad about iPhone images looking wrong in Gmail.  Obviously they could fix this server-side.  But that leaves Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. out to dry.  We should either make browsers agree.  Since the iPhone's behavior seems desirable to users, we should just implement option #1 (as my patch does) and be done with it.
