Hans Gerwitz wrote yesterday about the "inevitability of inline mediadisplay" [1], which is a thought I also had. Someone is going toimplement it, it will be a crowd-pleaser, other clients will follow andwe'll start seeing pages "best viewed in...". The incentive is there,no matter what the spec says (and the spec is actually ambiguous on thispoint [2]).

Has it already happened? Are there Gemini clients that display inlineimages automatically?

I know Vulpes does [3], but it's a web proxy, not a "native" browser,and it doesn't load third-party images. Lagrange has a "load image onscroll" option, which includes third-party images, but only applies tokeyboard-triggered scolling. Are there any others?
