Tim Berners-Lee gets involved in the thread too, suggesting the alternative of using the <a> tag but with a special "embed" relation. - Philipp Lenssen

Really interesting snapshot of the early web. - Rich

In a later suggestion, Tim hopes for the tag to be called <embed> or <include> to be more general in terms of media types. Marc Andreesen's reply to Tim: "We're not prepared to support INCLUDE/EMBED at this point; it raises a number of nasty issues that are quite separate from the idea of inlined images." - Philipp Lenssen
