Looks okay, but I think we should use it sparingly and only when  
really needed, since it breaks the reading "flow" when switching from  
2 columns to 1.

Can we use something like [width=0.5\textwidth] instead of  
[scale=0.5] ?  I think it will help it scale more automatically if  
page size changes.

Thanks Yves,
