One concern with inline images is that they could be quite big, and the
maximum width of the XWD_CONTENT column isn't that large (200k). One
modest PNG could easily fill that up, so maybe we should increase that
column? I would even go for a CLOB, but that would break backwards
compatibility, and at least one feature that will break is the
DatabaseSearch.

This needs a separate vote, if we're seriously considering making such a
change. And definitely not something for 5.x.
