I guess this is supposed to "pop-up" an image in the client or somehow inlining
an image in the output stream?  Can you describe what you envision a client
doing for this type of tag?  Are there constraints on image size, or other
attributes?

Not opposed in principle, but am not real sure we have content developers that
are drawing and/or acquiring such images for actual use in maps.  I think you
have said in the past we need content more than unused features, though I see
this as having potential for richer game play.  Anyway, not to discourage your
efforts, I suppose that does not need to matter so much.
