Like for the chemistry module, this can be confusing.
Also, sx=,sy= muck with the aspect ratio, don't they?
As we know, there is also an inconsistency in the handling of figure
scaling. Consider:
\startMPcode
draw externalfigure("cow") xsized 5cm ;
draw rawtextext("\externalfigure[cow]") xsized 5cm ;
draw rawtextext("\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]") ;
\stopMPcode
The first will draw a distorted, square 5cmX5cm cow,
The second and third will both draw an undistorted, rectangular
5cmX3.635cm cow.

which assume different default dpi. Can this be normalized in the case
of file formats (such as pdf) that do not explicitly set the dpi?
