I'll have to disect some recent pages; last time I looked they use
inline IMG elements on paragraphs or BR delimited text.  I suspect, though
that you are describing what is done by the more technically aware

It is up to the W3C to design the standards in such a way that people
find the laziest way of doing things is the correct way.  In this case,
I'm not sure that there is any significant level of abuse, so there may
