You can insert _SOME_ base64 encoded binary files. There are
problems, depending on the image encoding format used
(gif/tiff/png/xbm, I'm not sure which are problematic; see the xml-dev
archives for more info). I think the solutions where simple.
There are XML-based proposals for images that are quite interesting (I
think SDL? or SML? Look under the XML computational chemistry
section) Basically, it's a flexible vector-graphics format, that
scales on the fly and has other nice features...
Have you looked at MathML integration for providing output? Frank
Harrell pop'd up a quite interesting question regarding literate
programming, and this (the SDML) could be one aspect of it...).
Still havn't looked at it; maybe Friday I'll find some time...
best,
