Apparently some (or most?) browsers, Firefox for instance, do uniform 
scaling when only one of the width or height attribute is set on an img 
element. Dillo does non-uniform scaling and changes only the specified 
dimension. Here is what the reference has to say about it:

"When the object is an image, it is scaled. User agents should do their 
best to scale an object or image to match the width and height specified 
by the author."

It seems to be a question of interpretation.
