One thing I've completely missed btw is scaling limits. How we then
need to factor in bandwidth I have no idea about ... I guess at one
point it boils down to "try it and give up if it doesn't work". And I
think we need a few scaling related flags like "can't scale at all" or
sub-sampling restrictions. Who knows ...
