I think the url in the body is a nice way to make a placeholder for
inline image (if url element matches exactly url in the body it is
replaced/extended with actual image). 
I for one was adding URL to the body as a marker for oob data in
libpurle (as it does not otherwise allow linking protocol and ui legs).
Limiting body only to the url - that part i never understood and
couldn't fish it out from any standard - although if we now allow body
to be arbitrary - that particular libpurple plugin will be broken.
Which is not a big deal tbh, just a new challenge.
