This is very well done, and I don't mean to go all David Brent on you...
...but shouldn't this be linked with a warning, in case anyone viewing it is sensitive to flashing lights?
My understanding is that it's a very small proportion of people who are affected, but I doubt very much that's much consolation for any poor souls who are fitting right now.

Depending what you mean by "sensitive" the proportion could be much larger than small, or much smaller than small.
This should be taken into account.

You know there's a reason why severe flashes are accompanied with a warning on news reports etc?
Handy BBC article for you How is TV made safe for people with epilepsy?

Surprised that you can't get video cards with
settings for people with epilepsy.
There's a detector: trace.wisc.edu/peat/, so the code already exists. Seems most sensible would be to stop it on a user-level, rather than by unenforced W3C rules.

That's a brilliant idea
Would be really great to have a browser plugin that did that so I could set parameters for unsafe frequency of flashing images so they don't trigger my bastard cluster headaches

Field of view matters, for epilepsy
that article mentions "20 candelas per square metre". I think small gifs are unlikely to give anyone a fit.
The real reason to avoid spacky images is out of respect for people who get seriously bad photosensitive headaches like Archie and possibly Prodigy69, and yourself.
On the other hand, since you're not actually having a fit, you could always just hide the image (Firefox's imagezoom extension is good for that, or there might be one that does image-specific blocking).
