That may be true (I'm honestly not familiar with the spec), but automatically scaling image width (when not defined) to maintain correct proportion is something that previous versions of WebKit, and the current versions of Firefox/Gecko and IE all do. The behavior I'm describing is something that was just introduced recently.

Images are content, and distorting/modifying content shouldn't be default behavior. I'd think images should never be distorted unless they're explicitly instructed to be.

If you had a horizontal row of images with matching heights (with max-height) and variable widths, it'd be possible to do in every major browser except the latest releases of WebKit. I believe you'd have to use JavaScript.
