Comment:

 Verified that new posts, when exported, have `width` and `height` as an
 integer. It's possible an older version of WordPress saved strings to the
 database.

 We could patch the exporter to coerce these strings to integers, or we
 could add a migration script which coerces the strings to integers. I'm
 not sure if either of these approaches is feasible, so adding `2nd-
 opinion` here.
