Shut up and take my money!

No, really, that would be awesomely cool. Having support for in-band inline images is a useful start yet. I'm not the hero the world needs, but if I had a lot of money I would surely pay proficient hackers to write that thing.

I think once you add the user input side, you've reinvented something not unlike X-as-it-originally was, though.

Sounds good to me. Technology advances by the continued reinvention of the wheel, that offers new opportunities for simplification and improvement at each iteration.
