It's no surprise, but I still think this approach works *very* well in
practice.  The one problem I had while producing that draft was I didn't
want to edit the doc that had the data: URI in it; that was cumbersome.
Therefore, I gave my tooling the --final option that allowed me to stream
an image into the document right before I submitted.  Until that point,
the doc just contains a URL (either relative or absolute).

Best of both worlds.
