Comment (by dd32):

 I don't like this one bit, for the simple reason that getimagesize() is
 called on every request, quite potentially on a remote file, and due to
 the output not being scaled, it really provides little benefit for the
 performance hit it takes.

 I'd prefer to see it support the width/height attributes if the item was
 added from the media library, otherwise just skip them. Of course, the
 Links stuff doesn't support the media library though, sounds like a great
 enhancement there for the day that links is moved from core to a plugin..
