IMHO, 16 images is already an insanely large number. It causes this draft
to add a bazillion new properties, almost guarenteeing that nobody will
ever implement it, and definitely ensuring that it is impossible for
anyone to make a thorough test suite in finite time (and therefore making
it very likely that if anyone _did_ implement it, they would not do a
reliable job of it).

Allowing 24 images would make this already barely tractable problem orders
of magnitude worse.

This is exactly the right place.
