-== Linking & Embedding ==
-If you follow the archived discussion thread of the proposed image tag, you see things proposed such as an special "include" attribute on the anchor tag to mean to embed, or place that which is referenced in-line in the flow of the referring page. This behavior was not followed however as the anchor tag (<a>) has remained purely a mechanism to introduce click-able links (ie references that the user must click -- or explicitly request following in some fashion), in order to open.
-It is interesting to parallel the discussion around <img> tags to those around HTML 5's addition of <audio> and <video> tags. (need references)
