YES - I`ve tried to contribute this with no response. The third try:

Inline images could be very nice. There should be a small set of
standardized images to give them to clients as well as to servers.

Clients could know and include them without tranfers. Servers should
have them at the server database - the name should be something like
IMG SRC=/inline/internal-gopher-binary

Then I can use this in my documents and I'm shure all clients
get them.

Such well defined images can also help to have a WWW look and feel.
