But we don't know the dimensions for the block and how the image will
fit within it.

If I have an image 1920x1080 and add that to an image block on a three
column layout - the image fetched is the 1920x1080 image but is
displayed as 310x175 - the browser squashes down/resizes the image to
display it. But we don't know how much that will be until the page is
rendered.

Title:
  Add "width" and "Height" attributes to <img> tag in image blocks so
  they'll flow to the right size immediately

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  We should add "width" and "Height" attributes to the <img> tags
  generated by image blocks, so that the browser will render the image
  placeholder as the correct size even before the image finishes
  loading. This should help the page to feel like it's loading up more
  quickly.
