It's astonishing that native formatting conveniences such as this weren't added to the XHTML-like coding of ePub 2 or 3 when all sorts of specialist junk was added.

That's true for SVG, but not for plain image coding. When NJ says he's using 100%, he means in normal image tags. So, while Wolfie is wrong, in this particular context (SVG), he's not wrong about what would happen if the image is not SVG, but a straight-up HTML image tagged jpeg, or what-have-you.

Because of the dimension of the images, landscape layout, I have reoriented all the pics so they are sideways in an effort to allow folks with simple b/w e-readers to have as large an image as possible.

Isn't this much ado about nothing? 99.99% of all e-readers out there, including Kindle2's, can reorient when the image is zoomed. Why not just put the pic in, without all the brain-damage, and let folks click/tap zoom, and turn the device? If you have already rotated the images, 90-degrees, if/when they try to zoom the images, they'll be chasing them 'round and round, instead of being able to simply zoom and see them. I understand your altruistic impulse, but I think you're making your life harder than it need be.
FWIW.
