Um... I don't like returning a hardcoded default (e.g. 20x10) that is 
not going to be accurate 99% of the time anyway. False information is 
worse than no information in my opinion. Perhaps in this case we could 
just return nothing (ie. no LegendURL element) and produce a 
<!--WARNING:...--> in the capabilities output saying that width/height 
are required and were missing, and therefore the LegendURL could not be 
included.  Same thing when format is missing with the other URL types

No, there is no way. Perhaps in this specific case we should implement a 
msOWSPrintURLType() that would be re-used for LegendURL, LogoURL, 
MetadataURL, etc.

I'll copy this to bug 438 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438). Let's continue 
the discussion there.
