inline binary data display

would it be nice that all browsers can handle inline binary data display? actually just images will be fine. so no more image uploading.. just do something like:

<img src="image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAEAAAABACAIAAAFSDNYfAAAAaklEQVR42u3XQQrAIAwAQeP%2F%2F6wf8CJBJTK9lnQ7FpHGaOurt1I34nfH9pMMZAZ8BwMGEvvh%2BBsJCAgICLwIOA8EBAQEBAQEBAQEBK79H5RfIQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID%2FABMSqAfj%2FsLmvAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg%3D%3D" alt="" />

demo:

this particular line is supported in firefox, safari and konqueror but not IE (yet). I will try out IE 7 next week. to read more interesting stuff about finding the limits in web browsers, learn about the acid2 test.

edit: found a very unpretty way to embed inline images in IE but bow to the author who made it work.
