 Themes use '''$content_width''' variable to set the content area width,
 they use:

 {{{
 if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
         $content_width = 500;
 }}}

 This method has two flaws, it's not flexible and it does not support
 different sizes for different post-types.

 WordPress has to make the content-width to be a builtin theme feature
 using '''add_theme_support()''', and make it more flexible and easy to
 update. I want to update this value using the Theme Customizer rather
 editing the function.php file.

 The code needs to be easy to set and to support CPT, some thing like this:

 {{{
 $defaults = array(
         'post'       => '500',
         'page'       => '500',
         'attachment' => '650',
         'artist'     => '300',
         'movie'      => '400'
 );
 add_theme_support( 'content-width', $defaults );
 }}}

 Just an idea for 3.5.
