- snorkel 19y agoFascinating reading the entire discussion thread. Andressen proposes a simple tag for embedding images and right away everyone else makes more complicated proposals. Tim Bernes-Lee himself suggests only embedding icons in links. Soon the thread devolves into a discussion on embedding all kinds of media. Think of how boring the web would be if some of the more complicated schemes in that discussion had prevailed over IMG SRC.
