Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't think we've got a really bigproblem here. Links can link to anything; sure, but a client deciding toinline their display will create a monster of a user experience even ifthey try to do it with simple images. There's no sizing at work. There'sno positioning available. If a site tries to very carefully link toimages in a way designed to be inlined, a hundred more will not be doingthat. The client's attempts to display those things will break browsingfor its users and, hopefully, not gain popularity.
If someone wants to do something edge-casey that only works in veryspecific situations then cool. I don't see it as a threat to geminibecause of the guardrails you already have in place.
