Hm. Am I the only one who sees the relation between
        http://www.example.com
        [[http://www.example.com Link Text]]

and the image variant (doesn't the docu say urls ending in .gif are
displayed as inline images?):
        http://www.example.com/a.gif
        [[http://www.example.com/a.gif Alt Text]]
?

Of course this is a change in behaviour, but is it bad for users
understanding? Right now the [[http://www.example.com/a.gif Alt Text]]
does not print an inline image like http://www.example.com/a.gif does
and one might expect.

On the other hand you won't be able to simply create textual links to
images then anymore...
