Personally I think it's correct as is. I don't like the current way most clients I've used send images (OOB and the URL in the body) and in my own clients I wouldn't want to do that because I personally expect to be able to send a separate message along with an image like most commercial messengers, MMS, etc. let you do. Since this wouldn't cause problems if I do it slightly different from Conversations, I don't think it's worth specifying (other than maybe mentioning that OOB is the current widely used option but that this might change in the future).
