Just an issue to think of: Is the fileformat an open standard? To me at
least GIF is a no-go issue.
Another issue is that (small) images would be a very usefull addition when
it comes to comments and such. You could spend a booklet to describe
something which might be made clear with just a simple picture.
I'm sorry I can't scratch the itch. I just don't happen to be a
programmer. (At least I don't want to call me a programmer.)
