Apparently it was not clear before: we can't change parsing rules for  
<img> and <image>. <image> turns into <img> during parsing for legacy  
reasons. Neither element has a closing tag. I believe the goal for this WG  
is to remain backwards compatible. Not invent a new language on top of the  
old one.
