 all the basic options there should be to work with it.

 I beg to disagree here. Would you use inline styles in Word instead of
 document-level styles? I'll acknowledge many end-users who don't know
 better do, but if you're a creative type I'd respectfully imagine you
 don't. A CMS is no different.

 A theme is where you define styles. If multiple image styles apply, then
 multiple CSS classes get defined. Or contextual styles within the
 stylesheet, whatever. Point here is, the most I'd expect from a CMS is the
 ability to specify a class. Preferrably amongst choices defined by the
 theme, and ideally amongst portable ones that are supported by multiple
 themes because WP suggests defining them. (Feel free to open a seperate
 ticket requesting that, btw; I'd wager it'll get more traction.)

 Imho, the CMS should not be encouraging the use of inline styles, be them
 image borders or text colors (or font sizes or text aligns for that
 matter) beyond the likes of bold or italic. As such invalid, wontfix or
 plugin material all seem, to me, like correct ways to deal with the going
 matter.

 Percent resize is a separate issue which I recollect is covered in a
 separate ticket. Anything beyond that is, imho, nothing but past UI
 clunkiness. Good riddance I say.
