Of course. You comments are very much appreciated, and clearly state
that you observed a potential weakness when one particular method is
used in combination with another method. You comments also point to ways
to avoid that weakness, which is what most designers would want to know.

There is no difference, and comments are always welcome.

No reason to say "sorry".
The image _is_ part of the demo/test, but it's not there to make my
'conditional elastic' solution look good.
All web design solutions - especially when we combine solutions - have
or reveal weaknesses in one or more browsers, and I _intentionally_
wanted the image to reveal a particular image-scaling problem most
browsers have.
Your comments clearly show that I succeeded, but probably not the way I
wanted.
I should probably have added a few sentences about the image-scaling
problem in the test-page itself, and I may do that when I get around to
it given the fact that its appearance can cause confusion.

I don't mind comments about anything I do, as that gives me a chance to
expand on what I do and why I do it and discuss a subject.
You have provided anyone with interest in this subject - the
image-scaling problem under certain conditions - with ways to solve the
problem if they experience it in a real-world case. That may be
extremely useful for some, so I say *thank you* for all your comments.
