Maybe I'm just confused, but I'd rather distinguish:

physicalwidth (or mediawidth)
	the actual width of the image

viewportwidth
	the width of the area in which the image is to be reproduced

reproductionwidth
	the effective width of the image

If I understand well, in the current proposal "width" stands for my
"reproductionwidth", "contentwidth" stands for my "physicalwidth", and
we have nothing for my "physicalwidth".  Right ?
