Embedded images with rotation information don't show rotated #162

The picture appears rotated when embedded, but when you open the image in a new tab, it appears the right way up. This is a problem all the clients have had since we all started posting photos from our phones, resulting in a high portion of images being posted with the image rotated in the metadata only.

I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about this, as it is a Chrome behavior to apply the rotation when viewing the JPG by itself and not apply the rotation when viewing the JPG embedded in a webpage. I'm not sure there's even a way to know in JavaScript whether the image has rotation information applied? But maybe some fancy solution has arisen since the last time I looked at rotation issues? If there's nothing that can be done, let's just close this issue as wontfix.

There's nothing to be done for this until the following CSS spec change is approved and integrated into browsers: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-images-4/#the-image-orientation

Sounds good. Closing this issue on the basis that we can't fix it.
