Hi,

Thanks for the proposal.

This sounds like an Emacs problem.  There was some talk about the
rescaling issue here:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/174318/

And maybe here:

Why limit this to Org?  A solution should be implemented in image.el.

This is misusing attr_org, isn’t it?  Don’t particularly care for this
"API"...  All is IMO, of course.
