Re: external links to images in html 4.01 zip

I'm not sure if my first mail was clear. Hopefully
this will make more sense.

In the html 4.0 spec zip file, downloadable from
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/html40.zip
, cover.html contains the following image:

<img src="images/w3c_home.gif" (etc....)

This is good. Having downloaded the files, I can
browse them without being connected to the internet.
It's nice and fast.

In the html 4.01 spec zip file, downloadable from
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/html40.zip, the same
image is sourced as:

<img height="48" width="72" alt="W3C" src= 
"http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home" (etc....)

The image is still included in the .zip file, still at
images/w3c_home.gif . Now my browser wants to go out
on the internet to get it, though. This is slow, and
sometimes impossible.
