I'd copy the process.image template in the graphics.xsl into
your customization file and fiddle it.  You can see where Norm
sets the height and width variables and then sets the img tag's
attributes to their values.  It's easy to comment out the
lines that set the attributes if that's what you want to do.

If you want to get fancier--like do something with your div
idea--it'll take a bit more work (that I haven't analyzed).
