I don't see how a bug in the taglib has anything to do with the need to
identify logo sizes in the metadata. We're never going to agree on fixed
sizes to use, so the information needs to be there.

I can't speak for Rod, but the obvious thing to me is to calculate a
requested aspect ratio, and find the closest match. Having the sizes in
the metadata is critical to being able to do that.
