And deviously, you can inline the image data inside the feed too,
by using a data: URI with one of these methods.
However, shipping blobs around inside a feed is not a bright idea
with the currently common feed use cases.
There's also the problem that Internet Explorer doesn't support data: URIs.
And I suspect (although I may be wrong) that most client-side aggregators
use IE functionality for their HTML display.
My other also-not-likely-to-be-supported suggestion if you really wanted to
bundle a blob in your message would be to include an atom:content with a
type of multipart/mixed or multipart/related. However I see that Atom
explicitly disallows that. Anyone know the reason? Not that I have any
desire to do such a thing - just curious.
