There is no 'maximum.image.width' parameter, but it might
make a nice feature request. 8^)

Yes, if you are using Saxon or Xalan, Norm has written some
XSL extension functions that attempt to extract the width
information from an image file. In html/graphics.xsl, you will
see something like this:
<xsl:variable name="intrinsicwidth">
<!-- This funny compound test works around a bug in XSLTC -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$use.extensions != 0 and $graphicsize.extension != 0">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="function-available('simg:getWidth')">
<xsl:value-of select="simg:getWidth(simg:new($filename),
$nominal.image.width)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="function-available('ximg:getWidth')">
<xsl:value-of select="ximg:getWidth(ximg:new($filename),
$nominal.image.width)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$nominal.image.width"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
...
The simg:getWidth is the Saxon extension, and the
ximg:getWidth is the Xalan extension.
You could use those in a customization to adjust
the width. Unfortunately, there is no such
extension for xsltproc yet.
