It would be a possible security issue if that was allowed, because allowing users to insert images of arbitrary source into a page also allows them to insert things that would be interpreted as images when they aren't actually and that wouldn't end well. Something similar happened to ExternalImageLoader script.

Just wanted to move that here instead of hijacking the thread with irrelevant information.

Cheers!
