Yes, agreed. In fact, since soli users may want to turn off textures in the
browser, we can improve performance *a lot* by just never retrieving those
textures. If they're stored inline as SFImages, then they'll be downloaded
even if they're never used.
We should limit the range of formats we expect browsers to support.

I agree.
