This seems like a good use case for user configuration. If I like
Gravatar and think it's nifty and want it to download pictures for people,
I think I should have to explicitly enable that. Once I've done so,
though, I think it's fair game. As long as it isn't the default, I'm not
too worried about the privacy concern; people can make an informed
decision, particularly if the documentation points out that enabling this
would allow Gravatar to perform traffic analysis and get information about
what e-mail you're reading.
