Another view is that we have a mess that defies improving texts; and it's reasonable that a less messy situation will necessarily involve providing images for people to legitimize doing anything with the texts.
>How can you possibly not host the images? You csn't count on all your other sources making them available forever; or tomorrow; or at a predictable url.
And something has to be canonical or people can (will) post whatever they please for content.
Seems like it's the least effort to put them where you want the and you know where they'll be.
Again, the direction I hear you guys heading in is that you-all want to reinvent DP because you-all think you can improve-upon DP. Not saying you can, not saying you can’t. I’m just say that is not *what I heard* Greg talking about.
A requirement to post images increases the submitters’ work load over what the PG/WW’ers are asking for all ready. If I wanted to make post-ready page images then I could just go through the ugly process of making page images ready for DP and then wash my hands of it. At the very least you ought to invent a pull-system from IA to automate this for when submitters ref IA in the first place. Not sure you aren’t making a mess.
