I _don't_ necessarily think you're _not_ right (vis-à-vis deep linking of
banner and button images). It's just such an insignificant thing to worry
about in the grand scheme of things, IMHO. Especially when deep linking
presents problems that image-copying doesn't. (And I understand that image
copying presents problems that deep linking doesn't.)

I cannot fathom someone wanting to include a button or banner but being
unwilling to keep a copy of it along with the other files on thier pages.
Allowing deep-linking may increase the average quality across all
occurrences of the images long-term, but I seriously doubt that it would
increase the raw number of occurrences of images by any meaningful number.
Notwithstanding, I do agree that allowing deep linking in this case may be
a beneficial, if not a wise, policy to adopt, if the risks as outlined
earlier can be minimized.

I don't see anything there stating that the links back have to be text
links.
