And in ie8 and in Opera, incl. 9.80 (10 beta), and in Safari. Image
resizing, esp. small images resized at lesser pencentages, is fine as
performed in modern browsers.

I just shouldn't join in the discussion at two O'clock in the morning

The quality of rescaling in (some) modern browser is impressive!

The quality of downsizing especially is good enough for small
differences (especially like 80 to 60px). Your screenshot tells a
dismaying story about IE6 (and perhaps other IEs?). A perfectly good
technique of resizing (down) in the HTML (used in moderation) faces this
show stopper of IE!

A curiosity: in Mac Opera, between 330% and 340% zoom, the CSS resized
triple Vs are very noticeably bigger than the HTML resized one!
