Attributes[ListPlot]
{Protected}
Attributes[Plot]
{HoldAll, Protected}
So:
s = ImageSize -> Small;
Plot[x, {x, 0, 3}, Evaluate@s]
This raises the question as to why the Function pages do not list the
Attributes of a function. Users would generally look to the Function page to
understand how to use a routine and the Attributes are important
information.

I may have temporary blindness, but I fail to see why the call to Plot fails
here:
Clear [ s ] ;
s = ImageSize -> Small;
ListPlot [ { 1, 2, 3 } , s ]
Plot [ x, { x, 0, 3 } , s ]
