Why
do
we
have
an
IMG
element?

I
d
like
to
propose
a
new,

HTML
tag:
SRC="url"
.
This
names
a
bitmap
or
pixmap
file
for
the
browser
to
attempt
to
pull
over
the
network
and
interpret
as
an
image,
to
be
embedded
in
the
text
at
the
point
of
the
tag
s
occurrence.
An
example
is:
IMG
SRC="file://foobar.com/foo/bar/blargh.xbm">
(There
is
no
closing
tag;
this
is
just
a
standalone
tag.)
ll
at
least
be
using
it
internally.
I
m
certainly
open
to
suggestions
as
to
how
this
should
be
handled
within
HTML;
