(The text on the banner is “Dusk’s End, Nightfall City”.)
The reason I don’t want inline images is to avoid a pitfall that happened to the pre-CSS, post-Netscape web. There was no styling so people started using images instead of headlines, or even, sometimes, longer texts. The entire page often was an image, with different parts clickable.
And why is this bad? It’s bad for accessibility purps. Not just for people who can’t see but for everyone who loves to scrape and kitbash and mash up and just work with text as text♥
With non–inline-by-default images (the Lagrange “ya gotta click them open” approach is fine), that doesn’t happen. Part of why Gemini works!
