that's not in any way different then what I do - but I don't(!) need to 
define image sizes in EM - I'm quite fine with pixel width.

yes - but that also means that I would need to configure image 
dimensions in percent (which I would have understood) and not in EM ;)

I think your problem is, how to define a maximum width for images in 
f.e. a multicolumn FCE content element or a side frame in the layout. 
This is currently no problem to do if you know some TypoScript. I'm 
doing this for some years now. The benefit from this is, that you 
physically reduce the size of the image which will make it load faster. 
Every guy that doesn't have a broadband internet access (like in rural 
areas in germany) will thank you for that ;)

So, this is after all no reason for scalable images with a CSS class, 
but more for the laziness to do it the right way or to learn how to do 
it the right way :P
