The problem with this is when there is a cache in the middle that
already has the inline images.
Indeed, I find that with caching hold-time parameters, the main
document is often timed out while the inlines remain in the cache
longer.
Given that by my measurements, inlines outnumber base documents on
about a 6 or 8 to 1 ratio, a loss of cache effectiveness for
inlines would significnatly harm overall performance.
