The problem with that is:
Many, many pages we visit on the net have files of the same name.
back.gif, background.jpg, menu.png, etc, etc, etc...
In addition:
What about LFNs?
left_side_01.gif
left_side_02.gif
left_side_03.gif
left_side_04.gif
left_side_05.gif
left_side_06.gif
left_side_07.gif
All of these would be stored in the cache as:
left_sid.gif
(2 would overwrite 1, 3 over 2, 4 over 3, 5 over 4, 6 over 5)
So that we would end up with only one file in the cache directory.
Since none of them would match the name in the "img src=" tag...
All of them would be 'red boxes' on the displayed page.
