Then we'd have to rescale the images first -- which is no problem if we
have a imagemagick-enable Emacs, but rather slow otherwise.

Anyway, we have these cases:

1) the image is blocked

2) the image isn't downloaded yet

3) the image is downloaded

For the first two (and images in tables) shr shows "[img]" or (a bit of)
the alt string.  2) then replaces the string with the image
asynchronously when it arrives.  Having another case where you don't
want to block the image, but want to show an itsy-bitsy version of it
instead doesn't sound all that useful, I think.
