That makes some sense, though reading it one thing jumps out at me. Why
can we not link to a video with an img element? Why can't we link to a
Flash animation or SVG or SMIL with an img element? Isn't a video just
another image format? If the specifications really are orthogonal, then
the media format shouldn't be relevant.
By the way, I checked. HTML 4.0.1 never actually defines "image". It
says imgs link to images, but it doesn't say anything about images being
static that I noticed.
How orthogonal are the specs really?
