Rails - Jan 2006 - file_column and image attributes

Hi,

I have included the use of file_column in my app and it works great.  
I noticed that by default this plugin doesn''t account for image width  
and height attributes. I take it that most developers using this  
plugin are simply not recording or outputting this meta data so that  
the browser is basing the page rendering on the actual sizes of the  
embedded images rather than width and height attributes declared in  
the image tag.

My questions are: are height and width attributes in image tags now  
deprecated or considered obsolete? Wouldn''t faster page rendering be  
facilitated by including this attributes? Has anyone accounted for  
these attributes in their implementation of file_column?

Thanks,
Sean
