Were these two changes the result of consensus on the list ?
I don't know about the former; the latter was mostly consensus. I think I
was the only major objection to it. It's possible that Jon Callas also
objected at the time, but I don't recall. Pretty much everyone else
didn't care or wanted to revert this change (which I introduced). But
honestly, right now, it doesn't make a difference to me either way so I'm
fine with reverting this. We wound up using a different path for images
and decided to include it by reference using a hash-attribute instead of
by value in an image-attribute, so not using the attribute as originally
designed. So this reversal doesn't break our code.
