Φew! Enough work for today …

Once SE comes out of beta and Fog Creek starts charging for SE sites, this sandbox will disappear.

The question I'm asking is why MOF doesn't do what the spec you gave me says it should.

This thread is a fine place for deciding what the Math Overflow community needs.

I'm used to how this works with normal HTML and also how it interacts with Markdown and MathML at places like nLab, but maybe there's something I'm missing about the local implementation.

Example:

 <img alt="Rooted Node" src="http://mywikibiz.com/images/5/5e/Cactus_Graph_Lobe_Connective.jpg" width="20" height="10">

I know it should be "/>" at the end, but the spec seems to be very pointed about saying otherwise.

For instance, here's the one that worked at nLab:

<img alt="Rooted Node" src="/nlab/files/Rooted_Node.jpg" width="20" height="10" />

And if you don't want people scaling images, then you need to say that there … or somewhere.

If that level of granularity becomes inconvenient, we can always start separate threads on individual tags.
