RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: image sizes

I would argue that http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imagedata.html would
be the definitive source for understanding how to interpret widths in a
DocBook document, not the HTML specification.

Well, read the HTML spec, but it's width of their containing block
element.  Generally this is the width of the visible page but it could
also be smaller (e.g., inside blockquote or whatever).
