Not at present. There is only a limit of 100K on the size of the pic
uploaded.

120x200 pixels is what is recommended.

There seems to be some questions as to whether all browsers support this
attribute or not.

I'm working on implementation of server-side resizing/scaling and should
have a patch submitted sometime tomorrow.
