IMO: Embed links to webpages or directly to images via the <A> tag, but
don't embed images with the <IMG> tag -- that's getting too carried away.
Any collection of images worth linking to (for example, sets or minifig or
parts imges) should be an externally available source anyway (external to
the FAQ, that is), and embedding it in the FAQ is just asking for periodic
maintenance headaches. If somebody wants to know what a Timmy torso is,
point them to a collection of torso scans.
