Strictly speaking HTML4 does not dictate inline nature of the image.
The only place I've found is this:
"The IMG element has no content; it is *usually* replaced inline by the

designated by the src attribute." [1]
This phrase use word "usually" that imply exceptions
other than float cases. This is how I read this but I am not sure about
it.
No, I believe the full quote makes it clear that float cases *are* the
exception to inline presentation:
"The IMG element has no content; it is usually replaced inline by the
image designated by the src attribute, the exception being for left or
right-aligned images that are "floated" out of line."
IMG elements do not meet the distinctions for block-level as described in
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#didx-inline
Thanks, Bill, for the clarification.
I think that word 'usually' is redundant there then.
At least it is not a common wording:
"usually A but sometimes B" makes sense but
"usually A except of B" from view of
formal logic or fuzzy set math do
not cover the full set (with 1.0 possibility).
This is why I found it a bit confusing.
