They don't, but there's no reason they couldn't. Nothing says that <img src="foo"> must refer to a foo that has an image/* type. If you like, HTML could specify that any attribute that accepts a URL to an image can also accept a URL to a video, and in that case the first frame of the video is used. E.g., if foo is an image file then <img src="foo"> represents foo, and if foo is a video file then <img src="foo"> represents the first frame of foo. This makes no difference anyway until media fragments are implemented, though, so not much point discussing it yet.
