Thanks for the clarification, though regardless of the current
state... what is the consensus on what it *should* be? The old lingo
was:
- #+attr_latex: width=3DXcm
- #+attr_html: width=3D"Xpx"

That made sense to me since that's how they appear in
\blah[width=3DXcm]{file.png} or <img src=3D"" width=3D"Xpx" />.

With the move to :width value, I guess I'd rather see them work the
same or have it be obviously backend-specific vs. having :width Xcm
for LaTeX, and width=3D200 for html. At least make it identical to the
actual backend syntax (quotes around the 200 for html) or in pure
babel-esque language to unify (:width value, no quotes) for all.

At least that's my thought from a user's perspective.


Thanks!
John
