Umm, that's not very Jabber like. Couldn't the img src be an xmpp URI
that specifies an id of a file transfer in its query component? The
precise sequence of steps would need to be elaborated (ie: send img
first, then message; the other way?; or it doesn't matter).

There would still be the issue of sending inline images in offline
messages. This could tie into the problem of offline file transfers and
the push to talk idea I've been pushing.
