 > Right now we'll constrain the display with CSS, but ideally we'd be able
 to use the HTML that was inserted into the editor so we get the correctly
 sized `img` output HTML without having to rebuild it.

 > yes, I can see how that is weird - its probably easy to change it to
 just return the HTML and skip the `src` regex - I will take a look tonight

 I think we need to be careful about pigeonholing ourselves into ''only''
 returning the source or a built HTML tag.

 Sometimes people want the source, sometimes they want the markup and using
 a bool `$src` parameter or similar could accomplish that.

 I'd just like to see us avoid a situation where we need two functions to
 do basically the same thing with a different return, such as with
 `wp_get_attachment_image()` and `wp_get_attachment_image_src()`
