Hmm, good question.  IIRC, #5 was written long before backgrounds could be
put into tables.  So the motivation behind #5 wouldn't have been aesthetic,
but rather to limit the ripping off of the images as a collection.  But #4
already addressed that, so #5 doesn't really add anything.

Since it wasn't my intention to prevent uses like the one you described
above, I have deleted #5.  In its place, I added a new one which clarifies
#4 and the word "backgrounds":

   5. You may use these images as background images (for example, page
      backgrounds and table backgrounds) but not as embedded (e.g. <IMG>)
      images.

At first blush, this might sound like a new restriction, but it actually
isn't:  it just defines what is meant by "backgrounds" more precisely.  And
in practice, this won't affect anyone, since no one uses the images via an
<IMG> tag.
