Ummm... I don't think so. The image scaling you suggested would scale the image in the user's browser AFTER they already downloaded it. The proper way to do what you suggest would be to scale the images on the server side, sorta like how we are forced to do with our avatars.
Look again.

But I agree with that it sucks to make the clients scale images. The
width=x height=y is quite good to have there, as long as it specifies the actual size of the image (makes the layout rendering quicker, and you can see where there's supposed to be pictures if they're broken or you've got image loading turned off).
