I would be extremely careful with renaming an existing attribute name,
for none other than backward compatibility reasons.  The original
attribute name may use some improvement, but not at the expense of
breaking backward compatibility IMO, especially if this proposal is to
make it into 1.2 as opposed to 2.0.

Given this, I have to disagree with this renaming.

Yes.  Using a new name is safer in terms of backward compatibility.

The functionality of auto-resizing will be undoubtedly useful, but I'm
not sure if there is a merit in storing this flag in the file itself...
Is there an interoperability reason for this proposal?

I know at least Excel file format stores all sorts of flags.  I'm just
trying to see if this is one of them.

Thanks.
