Currently, it is hard to position an element relative to an image of unknown
width/height without using JavaScript.

If you wish to have an element on top of an image (e.g. an icon to trigger an
activity), it would be nice to do something along the lines of

<img src="whatever.png" alt="something">
  <div style="position: relative; left: 5%; top: 5%; width: 45%; height: 45%;
background-color: green; opacity: 0.8;">something</div>
</img>

(Replacing the img with a div with the image set as background-image works for
placing the inner div, but there doesn't seem to be a way to force the div to
have the exact size of the image without JavaScript.)
